Tim Anderson

These paintings are about people and events that have come into my world through reading, research and coincidence. The paintings are part of an exploration of human drama – all of them. Not so much good and evil, but the gray spaces in between. To get this down in paint is to trace a trajectory through a fascinating and compulsive intoxicating need to know. It is a way of laying it all out, where the process of making the marks is equally important than the end result.
