Anton Van Dalen is a Dutch-born artist whose work ranges from paintings and drawings to stencils and dioramas. After immigrating to North America in 1966, he moved to New York City’s East Village, where he lives and works today. His work revolves heavily around documenting cultural shifts and his own experiences in the neighborhood. Inspired by iconic Dutch artists like Vermeer and Van Gogh, he seeks to create pieces that meditate on daily life.

From the introduction: "This project is a collection of images and texts, defining and expressing the broad and essential issue of housing on the Lower East Side, and is a statement of the underlying force of ‘art as a means of resistance’. It is both a documentation and expression of social/political issues in our neighborhood and on a larger scale to symbolize similar conflicts in other parts of the world."
