Tim Fowler lives and works in Leicester England and has been a practicing and exhibiting artist for over 12 years. Tim has shown his work around the world in the US, Ibiza and Germany, with 8 solo exhibitions in London and Leicester. Tim's main concern within his work is exploring the colour field. Although vivid Tim's works are invariably balanced, using a signature colour palette of extremely bright and intense hues makes his work distinctly recognisable. His explorations in tone and texture are mainly depicted through portraiture and architectural paintings. He uses a variety of medium within his work combining oil, acrylic, spray, enamel and graffiti inks. Tim subverts traditional and contemporary methods of applying these mediums using brushes, different aperture caps and marker paint mops to orchestrate purposeful marks, strokes, drips, scrapes and smears across the canvas whilst constructing his exciting and dynamic artworks. Although working with figurative and architectural themes, the subject matter within his work becomes almost inconsequential. Using found and made images as a starting point. Tim builds layers of pigment, adding abstract fragments as well as bold marks, broken lines and liberal strokes to create contours and features, be they of building facades, silver screen legends or his more intimate family scenes. Doing this captures something more interesting than literal representation. This visceral connection to colour is palpably intuitive to Tim, using it as an expression of internal contemplations. Over the many years of Tim's career this organic relationship with paint and colour has developed and shines through, as he experiments with opacity, texture combinations, finishes and light. The deconstruction of his subject is rebuilt in a cacophony of colour turning recognisable features into their base elements to highlight unseen splendor. Pink plays a central roll within his palette using shades forcefully Tim steers away from traditional portraiture dogma on representation and likeness. Capturing a more delicate essence of the chaotic nature of the human experience. Memento Mori – 100 skulls In 2018 Tim Fowler put together a week long performance exhibition at the LCB Depot Gallery space. He started out with 100 blank canvases in a 25 x 4 grid. Over the next few days he worked day and night to paint 100 skull paintings. This was a live event so the public could come in whenever he was there and watch him paint and ask any questions. It was not possible for anyone to pre buy, reserve or buy more than 4 paintings each. On day 7 at 5pm then went on sale on a first come first serve basis. The entire collection sold out in less than 2 hours. As well as his on going interest in the concept of memento mori, which is Latin for remember the dead, Tim took this as a challenge to see if he could complete this task in such a short period of time with the added pressure of people observing him. He has now created a new series of 100 skulls exclusively for the NFT platform, including the first piece of the original 100 which will have the physical piece included with the purchase of #001 Skull I. The purchase of the first skull NFT redeems the Physical Piece.
