We are delighted to celebrateTimWoolcock’s 70th birthday with this exhibition of his abstract and landscape paintings. Tim’s abstracts create exquisite patterns and forms which relate satisfyingly to each other with perfect poise and balance.This structure of design is rendered in superb harmonies of colour and tone that evoke a direct emotional response in the viewer. In his landscapes of ancient Wessex Tim mixes figurative elements with geometric abstractions that hint – much like the paintings of Paul Nash – at the mystical equilibrium of the natural world that surrounds us and of which we are a part. Both genres are highly original and compelling. Woolcock has exhibited widely throughout his career including regularly with Jorgensen Fine Art in Dublin,The Nine British Art in London and at Linley. His paintings have featured regularly in Home and Garden Magazine. In 2009 one of his paintings was acquired for the Irish state. Born in Lancashire Tim Woolcock attended Arnold School in Blackpool before studying Art and Philosophy at Roehampton, University of London.Through the 1970s and ‘80s he taught in London before returning full-time to painting in the late 1990s. Woolcock’s paintings gained immediate popularity among collectors. Woolcock was encouraged to paint from an early age and paid regular visits to the Grundy Art Gallery in Blackpool as a teenager. Influenced by artists prominent in the 1950s, in particular by members of the St Ives School such as William Scott and Ben Nicholson, his work features strong pigments and fractured geometric forms that are balanced, characteristically, by an equally refined and delicate use of colour. Writing in TheTimes the art critic Joanna Pitman judgedWoolcock‘one of our finest modern British colourists’ and praised his sensibility for abstract design.The truth of her judgment can be seen everywhere in this exhibition. All works are for sale. |
