In the early 1980s I walked into what was then the Third Eye Centre in Glasgow's Sauchiehall Street and saw that the art centre shop was full of giant prints by London-based Scot Bruce McLean.
These prints were a wild, neo-expressionist mix of art and text. It was difficult to tell what was a mark representing an everyday object and what was a word representing that object. This was visual poetry, but it was also real poetry, for out of the pizza explosion of colour and line the eye discerned the absurdly beautiful phrase, 'A teacup, a jug, a piece of floor, a certain smile, a new front door.' The marks representing the objects were almost indistinguishable from the words that signified them. And that's about as close to semiotics as I care to go, lest the magic and mystery of the convergence of text and image be analysed out of existence. Since those days I have always had a soft spot for artists who combine image and text – although not to the exclusion of all else. Semic and Asemic Writing in Art.

IN SO MANY WORDS / 'Peach Vejvi' / S.F. artist's text-heavy canvases create an elaborate story from a swirl of fragments. It makes sense that artist Zane Peach is from Northern California.
First of all, his name -- Zane Peach -- is totally a Northern California name, hinting at hippie parents. Then comes his easygoing, conversational style, not rushed, frantic or forceful: the very soul of mellow. But his art speaks of more ambivalent, contradictory forces moving in his head. Peach, who graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2004, has been making a name for himself with his text-heavy paintings and drawings. His work will be paired with Los Angeles artist Torbjörn Vejvi, a Swedish-born sculptor whom Peach selected for a forthcoming show, "Peach Vejvi," at San Francisco's Urbis Artium Gallery.
