Welcome
to my paintings page.The menu options on the sidebar and the images
above (2007) will lead you to examples of my work from the different
series, made over the last 40 years. I will be adding to these pages
as work falls off the easel, so come and visit the Easel
page for those and the news page for
what is current and on the horizon.
Some artists remain in a narrow field of enquiry for their entire careers investigating nuances of a subject and harrying away at its possibilities. Georgio Morandi's oeuvres would be a good example of the efficacy of this method. Others, like myself, are combing their experience of daily life for new launching pads and fresh means of expression. In fact the process is less deliberate than that. New inspirations and enthusiasms present themselves. I see painting as a personal journey of discovery and as a form of diary. In a nutshell my approach is 'see and play'. You
will see that I tend to work in series, ranging from the psychedelic
paintings of the sixties up to the recent abstract
series. I see little difference between the representational and
non-objective approach as they both involve that secret language
that painters and aficionados read. Try upturning a Chardin!
" I make paintings that straddle the boundary
between abstraction and realism. The triggers are often from the
'real' world " I make paintings that straddle the boundary
between abstraction and realism. The triggers are often from the
'real' world from which a resonance lingers in the images, whilst
the search for a new harmony is sought within the four walls of
the picture. I wish to make something that looks as if it came
about by natural causes, that has an air of inevitability; something
that exudes a buttery or gritty poetry, that makes you discover
it as you might an individual pebble on the beach, shining in
its own quiet way. Tim
