About the artist
Tim studied A level Art before joining the Royal Air Force as an Aircraft Technician. After travelling extensively he left the RAF to study Art at Oxford and Cherwell Valley College, obtaining a BA in Fine Art from De Montfort University. Tim was the winner of ''The People’s Choice' award at the Modern Art Oxford, Open Exhibition in February this year and was presented with the 2008 Painting Prize by Andrew Festing, at the Armed Forces Art Society exhibition, held at the Mall Galleries, London.
'I feel colour, light and a sense of intimacy with the subject are paramount to my work. They add to the drama and create a touch of theatre. The ambiguous role of the spectator injects a sense of unease suggesting an undisclosed narrative, giving the images a fairytale quality.'
'I studied art under the tuition of Chris Muir, a superb figurative painter, who was tutored by artists such as William Coldstream, Euan Uglow, Frank Auerbach and eventually by the American artist, Jacob Lawrence.'
