Tony Fey's Sunset Strata

A work of singular atmospheric presence, Tony Fey's Sunset Strata for John Richard layers paper, fabric, and felt across a framed canvas ground to conjure the slow dissolution of light at the horizon — each stratum of material contributing its own texture and weight to a composition that reads as both painterly and deeply tactile. The hand-applied acrylic grounds the piece with color while the mixed media surface rewards close inspection, revealing a deliberate accumulation of process and intention. At sixty-four inches in height, it commands a wall with quiet authority, scaling beautifully to the grand proportions of an entrance hall or the considered calm of a primary sitting room.
