Tentoonstelling met schilderijen en sculpturen van Tim Duncan (Bovenzaal)

Opening: zaterdag 4 juni 16.00 uur

 

"Imagination is crucial when making art. Art is the greatest cure for anyone who feels unhappy."

Timothy Duncan (1972) was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland. He studied philosophy and arts. The last 18 years he has been living in the Netherlands.

"Painting to me is like conducting an orchestra. Each instrument (each colour) is of importance to the whole."

Duncan started painting at the age of sixteen. In 1990 he had an exhibition at the Trinity College, Dublin, where he showed oil paintings, inspired by Yves Tanguy and Salvador Dali. The paintings were characterized by a surprising amount of skill and an unique and great refinement.

"The artist has to be both courageous and vulnerable."

Since then Duncan encountered some big setbacks in his personal life. Still, he managed to continue his work, albeit with interruptions.

Timothy, Tim Duncan (1972) groeide op in Dublin, Ierland en woont sinds 18 jaar in den Haag. Hij begon thuis met schilderen toen hij 16 was. Hij studeerde filosofie en kunstgeschiedenis. In 1990 had hij een tentoonstelling in Trinity College. Daar liet hij olieverfschilderijen zien, geïnspireerd door Salvador Dali, met een grote technische beheersing en verfijning. Daarna heeft hij gedurende een aantal jaren grote problemen ondervonden in zijn persoonlijk leven. Hij pakte via het schilderen de draad altijd weer op.
