Anthony Peyton
Paint & bleached fabric · Charleston, WV
Anthony Peyton is a Boston-based painter originally from Charleston, West Virginia, who works with paint and bleached fabric. A graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, he joined Manchester AIR at The Factory on Willow in Manchester, New Hampshire, for the Summer 2021 session.
About the work
Peyton’s work draws images out of fabric by removing color as much as adding it. Bleach lifts tone from the cloth and paint builds back into the surface, a process of subtraction and addition that gives his images a layered presence.
