THE ART OF TIMOTHY CURTIS
interview / liz rice mccray
Dear reader, this month we welcome the lovely and talented artist Timothy Curtis to the cover of Bl!SSS Magazine. To date, Curtis’ artistic style is defined by a powerful and evolving line that, for the artist, communicates his thoughts and emotions through the action of creation. Through facial and figure interpretation, Curtis uses intuitive painting and drawing techniques seeking to understand the mind’s innate way of constructing human representations. The work is intended to inspire an augmented visual language, inclusive of and available to all people regardless of access, background or conditioning. His playfully simplified figures are riddled by direct, as well as abstract, entanglements—a commentary as to the root and nature of human relationships—an essential and unifying connectedness. As further suggested through the compositional tension of his more recent bicycle paintings, there emerges a narrative on the complexities of progress, while preserving a child-like spirit of fun. Many thanks Timothy, for taking the time to answer our questions, as we really enjoyed interviewing you. To see more of Timothy Curtis’ art, visit his website at www.TimothyCurtis.com.
