Timothy Barnes

Timothy Barnes is a visual artist based in Hamburg, Germany, who initially worked as a photographer before transitioning to painting. He is known for his large-scale, abstract works that incorporate bold brushstrokes and dynamic compositions. His paintings are characterized by a sense of movement and energy, often featuring sweeping lines and gestural marks that evoke a sense of motion and flow.
It's interesting to know that Timothy also works with paper and porcelain, creating minimalistic pieces. This shows his versatility as an artist and his willingness to explore different materials and techniques. Working with these materials can require a different approach compared to painting, as paper and porcelain have their unique qualities and limitations.
When working with paper, he may use techniques such as folding, tearing and layering to create minimalist compositions that play with light and shadow. These pieces may be delicate and intricate, showcasing the precision and skill required to work with paper as a medium.
