News about Tim Lane
New work by Tim Lane - 'Revelations' at Knifesmith Gallery
New originals further explore Tim's interest in themes from classical mythology and classic literature. Images explore the existence or non-existence of salvation after death and the afterlife and the destructive forces of human hubris and the corruption of power. The title of the show plays on the biblical reference with its apocalyptic visions and moral punishments and also on the realisations of human weaknesses with the unfolding stories of corruption of figures of power in our society. www.knifesmithgallery.co.uk

About Tim Lane
Tim is inspired by the colourful and fascinating ceremonial rites of ancient cultures; celebrating the cycle of life and their provisions for death and the afterlife, music and the transforming quality of performance, characterful faces, faded glory and the fragility of life and civilization.
Tim Lane was born in Cheltenham and is now based in Bristol. He graduated from Falmouth College of Arts in 2004 with a first class (BA Hons) degree in Illustration.
Since then he has been concentrating on fine art painting and drawing, which was for him a natural progression from his degree, but which provides a far greater creative freedom enjoyed in terms of style and subject matter. The degree which focused mainly on book illustration helped to give structure to his love for working directly from his imagination and gives his art its narrative quality. It also encouraged a passion for drawing, which is at the core of all his work.
