Timeline

In his lastest work, Tim Kent has become intrigued by different interior spaces. His work is contemplative and mysterious and uses both live models and still-life objects to weave an enigmatic narrative. It references the past but the atmosphere is also pregnant with events waiting to happen.

Kent is a native of New York City. After graduating in art, he became a heavy! metal musician with the band The Giraffes. He returned to painting full-time in 2002 and set up the Brooklyn Sewing Circle in New York, a forum for artists to exchange work and ideas. From this he developed TAG projects whose exhibitions achieved critical acclaim in the New York Press. He embarked on the post-graduate MA course in the UK as a means to step back from the frenetic pace of New York City. While not painting Tim Kent is a visiting lecturer at universities in The United States and Europe.
