Intermingling: Timon I solo exhibition at VillageOneArt - taking place at the gallery from July 25th through September 7th, 2024 - delights the visitor with compositions that embrace natural and urban environments mediated through a neo-Cubist perspective. Uniquely nonlinear yet representational, Timon I presents scenes simultaneously familiar yet multi-perspectival, enchanting the viewer with mysterious yet implied narratives.
In works such as “Inside Out” and “Endless Swirl,” the artist embraces multi-dimensional spatial dynamics to mingle the natural world with the linear, two dimensional space of the composition: thereby creating new visual dialogues through careful color contrasts and lingering and lush linework. The artist spins dreamworlds out from the known to the unknown, forming speculative narrative frameworks. In some scenes, a city is surrounded by flowers reflected in a water puddle, while in others, suspended floating spheres of jewel-toned orbs of light rise above a harbor. Where Timon I draws from elements of natural beauty to entice the viewer, the artist’s keen observational skills are indicated in the various vignettes spanning cleverly formatted picture planes that alternate from narrow vertical to slim horizontal compositions. New works by the artist on view in this solo presentation benefit from the careful overlap of fantasy with reality, gritty urban scenes with expansive landscapes. The artist delights in contradictions, offering surprising elements for the viewer to consider and providing an alternative method of exploring that which we find in our everyday lives in clever and unparalleled ways.
