Tony Casement

About The Artist

“I try to make work that has a physical presence and an identity of its own. There are various sources – people, journeys, maybe things heard on the radio and so on."

Tony Casement has lived and worked in Suffolk since 1982. He says of his art activity : “I try to make work that has a physical presence and an identity of its own. There are various sources – people, journeys, maybe things heard on the radio and so on. For example I get as much pleasure from looking at a pavement as I do from a sunset. There is usually a starting point in mind – a particular shape or a something to get things moving, but the work is not descriptive and the subject is not defined. As the work goes along sometimes things get included that were not there at the start. If successful the work will involve you in its own world, while connecting with the here and now” .
