Timothy Foss – Site 15

My work is abstract but you might find something real in it. I imitate light effects coming through the leaves of a tree or a pinch of canyon wall or through seaweed under a green lake. If there is a representation of something it might be painted as if Georgia Okeefe and Francis Bacon were criticizing every mark as I go. I work larger these days so my whole body can be more involved and so the painting remains a bit out of my control. Then I might learn something I don’t understand. If you decide to own a finished piece. Thank you! And I ask one thing: think of it also as a record of a certain time. Most of what I paint is layers below the finished image. Just like any life is made of so many layers we might never know.
