About
After graduating with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art from University of Brighton Tim E White’s fine art practice moved increasingly towards photography - completing an MA in Photography at the University of Arts, London in 2001. Since then he has become established as both a fine art and commercial photographer (for commercial practice see - timewhite.com ).
Tim’s fine art practice has been represented by several galleries and exhibited worldwide. Most recently by the Mark Jason Gallery, London. His work is held in numerous private collections and he has enjoyed a variety of commissions for corporate clients, dealers and agents - including fine art prints, art installations for office spaces, book covers and magazine features.
The main inspiration and subject matter for Tim’s work is the natural world. From vast minimal land and seascapes to the more intimate enclosed spaces. Revealing unseen detail in nature or taking us on a more personal journey into memory. Throughout he explores the themes of the hidden and the visible and the paradoxical relationship between real and photographic space.
‘By its very nature photography involves abstraction, or the reduction of human vision to a two-dimensional representation. The observer is confronted by an image of profound dimension whilst being drawn to the photographic surface……….. My aim is to explore the tangibility of light, space and even time within the photograph’
This strategy of image making is inspired by a rich inheritance of reductive aesthetics from Turner to Rothko and beyond. A 'pictorial world without matter' that would set us free from the pull of terrestrial gravity and immerse us in colour and light. Perhaps questioning where does the precision of photography end and the creativity of painting begin?
Tim’s work is predominantly shot on location along England’s south coast, the Scottish Highlands, and Iceland.
