New work by Australian self-taught artist, Tony Convey
THE COLOURS and textures of the Bellarine Peninsular's beautiful beaches have stirred the imagination of self-taught artist, Tony Convey. But rather than topographical studies, his paintings are visionary evocations of the landscapes where the ever-changing blues and greens of the water are enhanced by the rich details of the life found in the liminal zone; the exquisite metallic sheen of mussel shells, the sensual sway of sea weeds, the flashing movements of fish and the numinous hues of jelly fish combine to create a wondrous palimpsest which conjures up these landscapes in a new and original way.

"Each book has its own style and theme, telling its own story. Artists’ books are artworks that use the concept of the book, but are free from the constraints of traditional publishing."

Double Vision: A Shared Journey
|
From the Introduction by Colin Rhodes: "Journeys are acts of travelling from one place to another. Tony and Sylvia Convey I fancy, met at an intersection in the previously parallel roads of their lives, which then spun out like a vortex with neither beginning nor end. Their practices, their thoughts, their very lives are indissolubly intermeshed. In the spirit of the surrealist trouvaille, I would like to think that Breton's words in L'Amour fou might serve as a parting statement, as though from them: The brisk wind carrying us along may never die down."

"I was a voice and I was every voice and we seemed to be suspended on a shining cloud high above the mundane world." - TONY CONVEY
Creativity reveals the deep connection between mind and matter. It is a complex blend of motivation and inspiration, and sustains me in my solitary search for meaning. Through image making I create an enigmatic and alternative face to our culture. Visionary Art reveals our preconceptions and prejudices, which at the same time, are disturbing as well as provocative - Sylvia Convey, 1985
