| Summary |
Tim Maguire paints images of overwhelming beauty. Frequently cinematic in scale and distinctive for their rich colouration and technical skills, his works hover between realism and abstraction. The enormous scale of his still life paintings make them simultaneously alluring and disorientating, and once captured, the viewer is drawn to the painted surface where layers of pure colour erupt. Maguire's work is embedded in the traditions of paintings while also engaging with the contemporary world |
