A sheet or pasted together page of newsprint gives Tony Swain both the physical base and conceptual starting point for his evocative and dreamlike paintings. The imagery is built up by painting over the collaged newspaper in layers, obliterating most of the original text and photography. The fragments that are allowed to remain are transformed by their inclusion in his imagined landscapes and abstracts. Swain has created new work for the Art Now space. He lives and works in Glasgow.
