Tony Just
Tony Just paints in books, on paper, canvas and walls. Over the past seven years, he has worked with shapes and drips, a project inspired by Hans Fallada’s novel The Drinker (1950). In one of the writer’s more personal works, the protagonist undergoes an existential crisis, becomes an addict and ends his life by deliberately contracting tuberculosis. He does, however, find solace in his pain and describes his tears as “endless, bitter, and eventually comforting.” In reaction to the reading, Tony Just spilled red wine over a notebook and painted the surrounding spaces. The drips reminded him of the act weeping. In the following year, his practice consisted entirely of painting in books and pouring gouache or ink over them. He enlarged the shapes on canvas because he wanted to see them liberated “from the lines that made them.” Personally and artistically, Tony Just has lived through an extended period of transition. In the process, he set out to heal and consequently, his work developed profoundly as well.
