TIM IRANI: THE OBJECT
WHAT
The California-born artist has a lifelong fascination for nature and technology, centering his artistic practice around the construction of works that appear seemingly simple yet possess a complex nature. Merging digital renderings with traditional painting and woodworking techniques, the artist introduces a collection of new colourful works inspired by pop art and computer-generated imagery. Referred to as ‘structural paintings’, the artworks are designed to emulate the digital realm of pixels.

The artist invites his audience to delve into the complexities of our digital age and its profound impact on our lives. He explores the visual similarities between technological objects and the natural world, as well as the unique fusion of digital renderings and traditional techniques, all the while eliciting various sensations such as fear, confusion, excitement, and discovery.
