Press Release
In his latest exhibition Tim Maguire juxtaposes six new paintings of poppies under a blue summer sky with a suite of six lightboxes of brooding land and skyscapes - the latter images drawn from A Device for Viewing the Landscape, Maguire’s six storey high site-specific installation for the offices of law firm Allens Linklaters which is currently on view within the Deutsche Bank building in Sydney.

In both the paintings and lightboxes, Maguire continues to utilize 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.

The exhibition’s title, Near and Far, reflects the way Maguire wants his audience to read these new paintings and lightboxes, urging the viewer to appreciate both the physicality of the surface gesture as well as the perspective gained from the ‘long view’.
