In Tim Maguire’s new exhibition, Small Worlds, Maguire continues to investigate the insubstantial, the ephemeral, the fragile and the fugitive in his painting practice. He utilizes his ‘colour separation’ technique whereby radiant layers of yellow, magenta and cyan are thinly applied sequentially, each layer being splashed with solvents before it dries. By making each layer of paint translucent, Maguire seeks to make his painting process transparent so that every gesture and mark is visible, the paint hovering and glowing like luminous dew drops on petals.

This exhibition is open by appointment. Please contact the gallery for a suitable viewing time. This exhibition can also be viewed on the gallery website. View exhibition here.
