Eredità: Tim Van

Finding inspiration from decorative silk fabrics that draw upon international fashion designers, the artist Tim Van’s paintings incorporate a performative and theatrical component. The artist’s process is one of capturing the folds and movements, initially in a photograph, in order to bring to life the vibrancy and beauty of these fabrics.

Found objects are often included in the painting which pay homage to other iconic symbols that embody excellence in their chosen field, whether that be Engineering, Athletics, jewellery and craftmanship.

The compositions pay tribute to the legacy and often dramatic lives such designers lead, and acknowledge the many years spent to create something that will stand the test of time.
