Tony
Bland
Born
in England in 1958 Tony had a very modest upbringing. He did
not
realise he had a gift until a series of unfortunate events
led him to put
pencil to paper as a way of escaping. Tony soon progressed
to painting.
Tony's
painting style is unique. Every painting has a hidden meaning
known only to Tony himself, we are left to see and feel what
we want. Texture is an important feature in his more recent
paintings. He wants the viewer to be able to see and feel
the emotion witheld in the painting and let the story unfold.
Tonys paintings contain all of his observations and experiences
of his life.
Every symbol, every brushstroke, every colour is an experience
that he has
had or felt. His paintings are never planned they are created
at a time when he feels he needs to let everything go, like
a burst of energy leaving him tired at the end. Everything
he see's that means anything will be contained within the
next painting.
Tony paints for the enjoyment of others to bring a new perspective
to how
art is viewed, to look deeper into a painting, to look past
the immediate
colour and content. Look at the painting and each time you
do see something new. Which is what I hope you will do.
