Eco-art
The man who imprisons the art of the trees and the moon
The Briton Tim Knowles has invented a technique to draw nature
Trees and plants have been designed millions of times, but no one had ever thought to draw the trees, making the authors and not those of art. None at least until Tim Knowles, 39 year-old British artist has decided to have a link between art and nature with its "tree art": his technique is to attack the branches dozens of markers blacks, leaving their stretch on large sheets placed next to the trees, and let the wind move the arms of the artists plants. The result? Minimal surfaces on which to run continuous lines, dots and spots, interrupted suddenly. And each tree has its own style, as recognized by the Knowles: willow has a lighter touch and more undulating than the net and broken oak or larch, which "prefers" to draw points. "The pen moves on the earth, no one knows what will happen, and the hand that held it disappeared," wrote Paul Auster in "White Nights" Knowles expresses this idea with his art that comes from the spontaneity of the whole of nature .
There are no just trees, in the art of Knowles, but also insects, night walks in the forest, clear of the Moon, trapped in their winding paths and movements from photographs taken with very long exposure times. And even if the soul of his art is very connected to nature, Knowles loves to experiment the randomness of artificial objects and activities more daily limit of banality day of a mailbox, for example, set a marker internal makes a mark every time someone leaves you a letter, or the path of a car on a mountain road signs translated into a similar technique.
"The results of my art are out of my control - says Knowles - the designs produced by the wind or by car have a non-human quality and aesthetics." Features also recognized by critics (who found in his work a reference to Jackson Pollock), from dealers across Europe, as the locals of M2 and the Economist Plaza, exhibiting his works, and collectors, as some of his works are also in the collections of Italian Giulio Franchetti and Gropello. And especially loved by those who like to be recognized among the interweaving of signs that time there was in the forest that day, which was faster postman, what time of the night clearer.
