Toni Jane Bysouth has always been an artist; in fact she held a pencil before she held a spoon. After training at the prestigious Colchester Art School, Toni began work in Theatre - both painting and designing sets. This incredibly varied work would see her creating Tiepolo marble floors, 30ft Russian Icons and tiny detailed models.
This natural talent was soon snapped up by a number of television companies and her work could be seen in productions ranging from Hollyoaks and Casualty to Bob the Builder.
Now Bysouth has decided to respond to a different calling, her own work! By way of using all the skills she has acquired over her paint-shop days, all those happy accidents and mini miracles.
Working quickly and with energy on several canvases at a time, allowing the paint to flow and express itself, Bysouth creates works of emotional landscapes and turbulent skies – hovering between sensation and mood. This abstract expressionism takes inspiration from a moment or a feeling, to a time, movement, sensation or taste.
Although abstract, Bysouth’s work has a powerful effect on the viewer to seek out an image within the paint. What is at first abstract then takes form and that which may seem figurative suddenly becomes less tangible as meaning and form blur in the viewers’ eye.
Featuring two new and exciting collections; Firstly this collection take its influence from the elements; earth, water, life and other fundamentals. Bysouth, in this collection has created a wide and varied approach, to appeal to a variety of tastes and pockets. We hope you find something that speaks to you in this collection!
Secondly and most recently this collection of works takes their influence from the deco period with its various forms of elegant and stylish modernism and demonstrates how the abstract is able to soften the mathematical and geometric shapes into equally lavish, but more dreamlike and illusory images.
These are images of the machine age where streamline curves and man-made materials such as glass and stainless steel sat squarely with romantic abandon and the decadent enjoyment of the new world and new technologies in aviation, radio and electric light. An age of the cruise liner, the sky scraper, cinema and dance.
