Tim Fishlock - THE POEM WILL RESEMBLE YOU

"In the five years we have been working with Tim Fishlock he has relentlessly pushed boundaries with each new collection. Brilliantly considered and relevant to our times this current collection of his lyrical journey raises the bar yet higher still. 'The Poem Will Resemble You' is nothing short of a psychedelic modern day masterpiece.”

"This on-going series of large-scale paintings was born out of the interactive spinning wheel piece, THE POEM WILL RESEMBLE YOU. Whilst that work is an exploration of semantics and serendipity, these paintings go beyond language and messaging by cropping and abstracting the words and finding a pure enjoyment in the letterforms themselves.

The use of repetition and the comic book palette gives the work a Pop aesthetic. For inspiration, I looked at the large-scale paintings of KAWS and worked hard on making the pieces as refined and precise as possible. The fact that these paintings have a strong Op Art quality in the flesh was an unexpected bonus."
