, b. 1980

Tim Fowler's primary focus in his artwork revolves around exploring the realm of color. His works are vivid and impeccably balanced, characterized by an unmistakable color palette consisting of incredibly bright and intense hues. He channels his explorations of tone and texture through portraiture and architectural paintings. Tim employs a diverse range of mediums, combining oil, acrylic, spray, enamel, and graffiti inks. He subverts both traditional and contemporary application methods by utilizing brushes, various aperture caps, and marker paint mops to intentionally create marks, strokes, drips, scrapes, and smears across the canvas. This meticulous process contributes to the creation of his exhilarating and dynamic artworks. Although his work often incorporates figurative and architectural themes, the subject matter itself becomes almost inconsequential. Tim begins with found or self-created images as a starting point and then builds layers of pigment, incorporating abstract fragments, bold marks, broken lines, and expressive strokes. These elements contribute to the formation of contours and features, whether they depict building facades, silver screen icons, or more intimate family scenes. Through this approach, Tim captures something more intriguing than a literal representation, establishing a palpably intuitive connection to color as a means of expressing his internal contemplations. Throughout his extensive career, Tim has developed an organic relationship with paint and color, which shines through in his experimentation with opacity, texture combinations, finishes, and light. He deconstructs his subjects, transforming recognizable features into their elemental components to emphasize unseen beauty. Pink plays a central role in his palette, as Tim boldly deviates from traditional portraiture conventions of representation and likeness. Instead, he captures a delicate essence that reflects the chaotic nature of the human experience.
