Lines are a basic form of expression. Toni uses lines freely to move without volition, spiralling and dancing on the board, touching lightly or pressing fiercely, depending on the force and flow of the energy that flows through him. The effect is mesmerising, and draws the viewer to share in the raw, personal energy.
Lines serve to separate and connect. Map language reflects mankind’s history with drawing lines. Toni draws on this language to communicate personal, political and social perspectives. Meticulously executed and layered, they reflect a deep consciousness that contrasts with the free energy of the line drawings. |
