Tim Ridley

I make work about the division, opposition and collusion between animals and humans.
Oil painting, drawing, assemblage, collage and the re-use of materials and objects are central to my work.

Painting selected for the 171 RWA Open exhibition 2024,
I won the Ovalhouse prize at Chelsea College of Art, and Gloucester University prize at the Open West.

I was on the committee of the Newlyn Society of Artists for 6 years. I have exhibited in Berlin and Baku, Zdonov in the Czech Republic, London, Exeter and Birmingham and I am represented by Daisy Laing, Penzance.

My work is in private collections in Hong Kong, USA, France, Italy, Germany and the UK.

MA with merit from Arts University Plymouth.
