Artist Curated Projects is pleased to present the work of Tony Payne and Suzanne Wright. Each artists' work is inherently concerned with the body though their approach to the subject is vastly different.
Using text, Tony Payne’s work explores both the actual letterforms and their various levels of context - the text / image is rendered in a painterly fashion - using hand made materials (pigment) with elements directly related to the body (it's host, the interior), saliva, blood, semen. Words (often parts of lyrics, found text or elements of the artist's dreams) subconsciously emerge to become subjects. The letters somehow both stand for, and come from the body, mirroring the struggles (the elation, the power) within.
