Art Alive

<p>In this remarkable convergence of two dedicated creatives multifaceted artist Tony Mayo and poet Munia Khan unite their disciplines to craft a collection that is both profound and mesmerizing. Mayo's sculptures shaped from natural elements such as bone ivory and wood honor the fragility of lost cultures and vanishing ecologies preserving beauty in its purest form. Poetic in both execution and presence his works speak in silent verse their textures and forms echoing stories of nature survival and memory. Khan's poetry with its intelligent rhythmic precision mirrors and deepens these visual narratives encapsulating seismic artistic realities with lyrical grace. Together their work forms a striking dialogue between visual art and the written word-disciplined in execution yet boundless in imagination. This book is a testament to the power of creativity to illuminate preserve and transform.<br /><br /><strong>- Benjamin Cusden</strong><br />A filmmaker and internationally published poet <br />Benjamin Cusden has been shortlisted for The Bridport Prize <br />(one of the most prestigious awards in the literary world) and <br />the esteemed Live Canon's International Poetry Prize. <br />In 2020 he was chosen for the London Library's highly <br />respected Emerging Writers Programme. <br /><br /></p><p> </p><p>Over the past 46 years while studying this amazing world of art we live in I have never before been so mesmerized by any living artist's bio as I have by Tony Mayo's! The life he has lived the roads he has traveled the astounding creativity and the exciting genres and perfection in detail. Mayo is the embodiment of true artistic genius. I believe that every museum of modern art should have at least one of Mayo's artworks in their collection.<br /><br /><strong>-Nicholas Geddes</strong><br />Internationally recognized Fine Art Consultant Researcher and Historian <br />Johannesburg South Africa</p>
