Joe Tymkow

In June 2010 I graduated from UWE - Bristol with a degree in Fine Art; sharing a studio space in Bath. I am currently building my CV prior to approaching a gallery; to this end I had a painting accepted for the Threadneedle Prize Exhibition in 2011. My artwork is driven by process and response; both the very process of painting itself, and a response to visual and physical incteractions that occur on the canvas before me. For my degree I focussed on the American Abstract Expressionist artists, particularly Franz Kline, Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman. I am equally inspired by more contemporary artists such as Gerhard Richter, John Virtue, Alexis Harding, Susan Gunn and Jason Martin. Director of Fringe Arts Bath.
