The story
When you think of New York, you think of art. The city has vied for contention of Capital of the art scene for a century, just as countries clamber over each other for geopolitical positioning.
Whatever your opinion, the art scene of New York is tremendous. The myriad of galleries offer spaces where you get fully absorbed in art. It shocks and it awes. The Metropolitan, the Whitney, the Guggenheim. Legendary spots for art gazers. A compendium of art history contained in a few square miles of land. The choice and array is astonishing.

Work
New York has sent out concentric rings of influence and inspiration for decades. There is a vision and quest among the practitioners of art of New York that sets the cadence for the rest of the art world. The energy is real. You can feel it. Amidst this competitive and vigorous scene there are the now generation of painters, raising their heads above the parapet, poking their brushes trough the dense city jungle. Signalling to the world their creations that have gestated in quiet corners of Brooklyn. Amidst the exaggerated mayhem of the city, imagine a painter completely absorbed by the canvas, in an epicentre of perfect calm, painting for now.

Tøn exists for art that stays open — work that questions more than it concludes. We look for contemporary artists who are honest about the search, not just the result. We're always open to those we haven't met yet.
