ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Inspired by minimal abstract painters such as Robert Ryman, combined with gestural spontaneity of Cy Twombly and Robert Rauschenberg's layering of elements and found materials; a poke at conservativeism, Brexit and "I'm alright Jack" culture. This was painted directly and spontaneously without preconception or planning, relying on instinct and experience. This creates an honest and heartfelt composition that holds layered elements of balance and playful energy and imbalance combined. The process is all important, with it's contrasting marks "interrupting" and punctuating the underlying plane, whilst holding down the overall composition.

Artist Statement: Fawcett’s painting practice explores visual dichotomies - concrete versus abstract, discipline versus freedom, and order versus chaos. Having successfully carved a niche earlier in his career as a figurative painter, a turning point came when teaching adults with learning disabilities. The profound joy that his students showed in their approach to painting, was life affirming and hugely inspirational. ​Tension is created by conflicting renderings of the spontaneous and the deliberate, the conscious and the unconscious, or the strange and familiar. The resulting image is one that appears familiar but resists recognition. At first glance, his paintings introduce new forms of communication between irregular lines, naive marks offset by regular forms. His work is characterised by immediacy of a painting process, working with the urgency of decision making along with more considered composition. www.timfawcett.co.uk
