anthony ulinski
Anthony Ulinski was born in Indonesia in 1954, and lived in Africa, Asia and Europe before settling in the United States. For over thirty years he has worked in Raleigh, North Carolina as a studio furniture maker.
Reflecting his diverse background, his work ranges from the sleekly functional to the sculptural. In his latest work, a series of reliquaries and urns, he adapts imagery and materials from the ceremonial objects of different cultures as a way of looking at the role of ritual in contemporary American culture.
He began the formal study of oil painting in 1993, working with Elizabeth Lentz, Jacob Cooley, Margie Stewart and Beverly McIver.
He has exhibited widely in museums and galleries, including the John Elder Gallery in New York, Funeria in San Francisco, the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, the Green Hill Center for North Carolina Arts in Greensboro, and Blue Spiral Gallery in Asheville. His work has been included in the Smithsonian Craft Show and the Philadelphia Museum of Art Craft Show. He is an exhibiting member of Artspace in Raleigh, where he was the summer 2000 artist-in-residence. He has received fellowships from Vermont Studio Center and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts.
