My Artist Residency at Museum of Croydon is now over…:(
Can honestly say the Vibe® during my Residency at the Croydon Clocktower over the last month, connecting with a super diverse audience was unique and humbling, all through art & personal engagement, all in-flow, all in…MAKING CONNECTIONS, CHANGING PERCEPTIONS®…think I’ve found my ‘thing’, so will continue…Big love to all those who made it down, connected & and even had a cuppa with, I truly value these sublime off-line moments…and special shout out to the Museum team for being super accommodating and allowing me to ‘do my thing’, Thankyou ❤️
Was recently involved in a group show entitled ‘An Exquisite Mess‘ (Think Wallace Collection meets Burning Man Fest) – Set in the lovely private home of designer Haley Mclane down in Clifton Gardens, featuring a mixed bag of 30 artists, DJs and live performance artists.
The whole night was a vibe I have to say…some quality artworks and a nice mash up of people…oh, and the food 😛 Was just nice to experience a full on show inside a house other than a gallery for a change, really helped shape the vibe and enjoyed the way people responded to the works, as if you could say, this was their house for the night, that homely feel without that clinical / stuffy vibe of a gallery, if you know what I mean…
Big up Haley on putting it all together alongside art curator India Dickinson, and all the other artists involved…special shout out to my guy Carlos for the connection, Whiskey, Henry, Sequinkay, Adam & Fred…Big up the Staircase going into the ceiling too *Features!…
Been a Croydon citizen all my life, and although i’ve probably spent more time away from Croydon work-wise, I can’t really knock it, even though I used to…Croydon simply put..is not that bad…
I mean yes there is a current identity / image of Croydon to fix up and yes, there can be aspects of Croydon ‘culture’ that can appear out-dated, but for me, as an artist, it provides this raw foundation to build something from a grass roots level, something to really engage communities with, all through the power of art and activism.…
Tim is an avid art collector for many years now, and has decided to share his private collection, as well getting together some of his favourite artists he admires, for a pop-up exhibition at the Royal Opera Arcade in Pall Mall, London.
All works will be for sale, including some canvas and print editions from my end.…
Quick heads up on ‘Faces & Places’, a group exhibition at Darren Baker Gallery which i’m taking part in alongside a handful of established and emerging artists.
Got even more fresh work to share with you which i’m sure will tickle your face, in the right place, ha…
Hopefully see you at the private view next week, if so, please RSVP to info@darrenbakergallery.co.uk
