Tony Savoie's work is different. Different enough to make you take a second and third look, but not so radical that it torments you trying to find hidden meaning and rules within.Using various forms of mixed media, Savoie creates work that is an aggressive combination of pop art, advertising, typography, color, and scale. Bright, bold, and interesting, his work refreshing to both look and talk about.
For his most recent series - the Command Series - his focus has turned to dogs and their relationship with their owners. As he describes in his artist statement, "I'm attempting to balance anger and apathy with humor and horror."
In his statement, he also generously describes his process: "The technical process for this series involves reverse oil painting directly onto clear acrylic sheets. I use stencils, spray paint, pencils, masking tape, and traditional oil painting. The next step involves the selection and placement of photos and objects that are designed to expand the physical and conceptual depth of the piece in a quest for new questions and relationships."WEBSITE: http://www.tonysavoie.com
