About The Artwork
This is a work that was inspired by Classical Mythology with the trials of Heracles, involving a many headed hydra mixed with a Dostoyevsky short story. It explores the power of a dictator if we 'the people' are all 'asleep' or blind to the loss of our personal freedom and rights. If we don't awake from our 'slumber' we could loose even basic rights to live or die. Traditional drawing techniques and story-telling are at the heart of my practice. I am inspired by myth as an open-narrative structure and as a symbolic and vivid source of human experience.

United Kingdom
Tim’s anachronistic style takes strong influence from Classic Literature and World Mythologies and it is this that gives his art its rich narrative quality. The consideration of Myth especially, for Tim, provides a structure of multi-layered, open narrative that inspires highly symbolic imagery that not only prompts the viewer to find out more for themselves, but seeks to explain the world in a visceral, imaginative, dark way, often with a animalistic element. “I like to ‘animalize’ people with the ‘animal mask’ revealing an often hidden inner quality of the eternal human character as very much part of the animal kingdom.”
