During the endless hours, days and weeks of lockdown in Spain the artist, the artist found it difficult not to be introspective and while too much introspection can be a dangerous thing, he enjoyed re-discovering some of the obsessions of my younger self which led to making a monotype of the legendary Marlene Dietrich. A glamorous fashion icon, known for her androgynous film roles and bisexuality, could anyone be more inspiring to a teenager coming to terms with being just a little bit different from everyone else, and who better to have as lockdown company. Now that lockdown has eased he 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 is number three and titled ‘Lilli Marlene’.

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.
