The Artwork

Lee’s drawings act as a means to understand his thoughts and feelings, a process that has led him to refer to his pieces as Visual Diaries.

“I cannot determine where I begin and my work ends. They’re essentially one and the same to me. My drawings work in a way that empties my mind and I try to translate my feelings/emotions onto the surface. All my work is in essence an attempt to understand and know myself.”

The themes of loss, violence, eroticism, time & mortality form the backbone of Tim’s work. Often melancholic in tone, his drawings places the viewer in a unique, almost voyeuristic position, looking into the darker facets of the human experience. It is the ramifications of all these tensions, contrasts and juxtapositions that gives his work a truly original edge.

“I hope people can see beauty in the simplicity of my acts; that they can admire my attempt to decorate and celebrate what it is to be human”

“I’m never looking for perfection in my work; I like the near misses much more”
