A brand new silkscreen print by Tim Southall hot off the press. The artist has this to say about the print:

After a week or so of the very strict lockdown here in Spain, I began to go into something of a creative ‘freeze’ as my mind decided to go into lockdown too! Following several days spent mostly in bed, I shook myself up and began working on some imagined head and shoulder drawings, going wherever my isolated mind took me. These led on to making monotypes and I am hoping that the results of this will make a nice series of works. Here is ‘All Dolled Up With Nowhere To Go – The Pinstripe Suit’. This portrait depicts a young, dishevelled office worker, now furloughed. So long has it been for the need to dress for work, the pinstripe suit – long a symbol of the city worker – has become tattered and moth eaten, a reflection of the subject’s state of mind.

Now in the print studio in Birmingham Tim has re-worked the image and made it into a silkscreen print as part of the series ‘All Dolled Up With Nowhere To Go’. This 7 colour silkscreen is printed on Somerset Velvet, a heavyweight 300 gram handmade paper from St Cuthbert’s Mill in Somerset, and is in a limited edition of 50

Size: H:40 cm x W:30 cm

Tim Southall studied Fine Art at Northumbria University and then printmaking Royal College of Art and l’école des beaux art, Paris. Based in London for twenty years, he now splits his time between London and his house and studio in Cadiz Province, southern Spain. The base upon which he builds his work is metaphysics: existence, objects and their properties, space and time, cause and effect, and possibility. Using these guides, he express's how he see's and experiences the world. This he does mostly through the use of narrative within a landscape using either the human or animal form to create a narrative. He strives to make work which is delicate and shows a lightness of touch along with an eye for detail. He also uses the language of drawing and mark-making in an attempt to describe emotional depth and atmosphere.
