Tim Maguire
Tim Maguire is a contemporary Australian artist best known for his large-scale floral paintings. Cropped like film stills and referencing 17th-century Flemish still-life painting, his work melds digital imagery with commercial printing techniques. “Everything I do is process driven,” the artist’s said. “I paint big pictures to bring the viewer forward; the closer you get the more abstract it becomes, until it looks like it's falling apart.” Born on December 26, 1958 in Chertsey, United Kingdom, he was raised in Melbourne, Australia. Maguire studied art at East Sydney Technical College, before receiving a scholarship to attend the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 1985. In Düsseldorf, he studied under the Dutch photographer Jan Dibbets. The artist’s career is dotted with recognitions and awards, including the 1993 Moët and Chandon Fellowship. His work can be found in the collections of the National Gallery of Australia in Canberra and the Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney. Maguire currently lives and works between London, United Kingdom and Sydney, Australia.
