Tim Baynes = Art + Excitement
Painter and Printmaker
Exciting for Tim is a grey Essex marsh, an impossibly green Carmarthenshire hillside and now the Wiltshire downs and vales.
He is always scavenging across experience and material, spurred on by close examination other painters: Richard Diebenkorn (scale and heat) Peter Lanyon (flight and coast) John Piper (place).
Drawing or photography is often the start point when something excites him. Back in his studio making more drawings or paint/oil pastel studies. His painting then takes these and pulls an idea together in pigment.
Tim hopes his work is a footprint on a Wiltshire landscape. So people can look out across his work and find celebration.
Tim Baynes studied fine art at Carmarthen School of Art with additional studies at Central St Martins School of Art and The Slade.
His paintings of fields, farms, factories and towns are for sale. His commissioned work is in collections in the US, UK, France, Spain and Australia.
