Canadian contemporary artist Anthony Ricciardi has made a big impact these past few years, with collections being showcased globally in major cities such as New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Manchester, Montreal, Sao Paolo, and now in Sydney thanks to gallerist Louise Reilly at Audrey Fine Art.

He has curated large-scale artwork and clothing for notable celebrities such as Demi Lovato, Bad Bunny, Post Malone, Shaquille O’Neill and many more. He's also collaborated with major brands such as Disney, Adidas, Coors Light and L’Oreal.
