‘Idyll’.
A series of images exploring the myth of the romantic genre.
The images Tim has chosen to develop show a simple romantic vision of a pre First World War, ‘costume drama’, England. They show a scene of idyllic charm… cottages with roses around the door, neat gardens, and homely interiors full of happy families. These paintings have and still do, adorn people’s homes, and are chosen for their comforting images.
Into this comfortable world he juxtaposes the modern day reality of commercialisation, consumerism and the continued threat of another war. The villages no longer house families, or local shops or post offices. They have become empty second homes seldom used. They have become fake stage sets.
