Gallerina is pleased to present to you our first new artist for 2011; Tim Cornley.
Tim was born in 1977 and completed an Art Foundation course at Queen Elizabeth Darlington. He went on to study at Bretton Hall College of Leeds University, achieving a BA Honours degree in Fine Art Painting.
Working as an Art teacher with a passion for Art History, Tim's influences are wide ranging, from Velazquez to the contemporary Gerhard Richter. His portraits have an obvious photographic influence but also a painterly quality that there is no attempt to disguise, unlike the work of the photo-realists. Tim states that- `I admire realism in art but equally painters that celebrate the medium of paint and the gestural brushstroke such as Sargent or Bacon.'
There is also a thoughtful, meditative undertone can be found throughout his work. `In the past I have painted landscapes and abstracts but there has always been a constant throughout. My paintings have always been about questioning the world we see, our visual perception and its limitations.'
