TONY SAVAGERIO: UNLOCKING THE FOREIGN PSYCHE

 

Ink on acid-free card. 2008

This is about a UK artist friend of mine who, in the 1970’s rallied all over England for an anti drugs campaign.

The campaign was highly successful , reducing the drug trafficking up to 70 percent. Not without

terrible gang vindication. Tony was shot twice, and in this drawing shows him being shot.

Many years on, artist Tony Savages still lives to tell his gruesome and heroic tale.

TEN SWORDS

 

 

 

Mixed media- acrylic paint, chain, embellishments. October, 2007

The Ten Of Swords card in the Tarot, represents great mental alacrity,

and among other inferences, mental anguish and mental illness. This particular

abstract represents when the brain sequences disrupt, cause fits and spits, anguish and

frustration. A dear friend of mine was the inspiration of this piece,

due to the friend having to overcome the effects of  accidental electrocution.

The beautiful colours represent the beautiful person within.

BOUNTY. 2007

 

 

Bounty. Ink on paper. 2007

Another play with positive and negative spacing.

Doodling or Trance Art, is a great way to come up with interesting images of the heart and mind.

At the time I was reading about the Philadelphia Experiment, so some pretty weird

stuff subconsciously, came out in the drawing.

RELATIO INTERRUPTUS . 2007

 

Relatio Interruptus. Ink on acid free card. 11 June 2007.

 

This drawing is about how some men can sometimes congregate egoistically at barbecues,

while they piss up, and leave the women out. A mixture of bravado, arrogance, and macho attitude seems to occur.
I have found this is more in the older age bracket of the 60’s plus group, but I could well believe that where there is a barbecue, and  a group of men drinking their booze, the possibility may just occur there too.  Is this purely an Australian cultural habit?
