Tony Fey's Towering Tiles

A large-scale composition in paper, canvas, and acrylic, this hand-made work commands the wall with the authority of a architectural element rather than mere ornament. At sixty inches in height, the piece asserts a vertical presence that reshapes the proportions of any interior it inhabits, its layered surfaces suggesting depth and accumulated gesture in equal measure. From the John Richard collection, it carries the considered craft of an edition made entirely by hand, where the materials themselves become part of the visual language.
