My paintings are about people and events that have come into my world through reading, research, and coincidence. The paintings are part of an exploration of human drama—all of them. Not so much good and evil, but the gray spaces in between. To get this down in paint is to trace a trajectory through a fascinating and compulsive intoxicating need to know. It is a way of laying it all out, where the process of making the marks is equally as important as the end result.
Tim Anderson (b.1954, Evanston, Illinois) is a Chicago-based artist having exhibited continuously since 1978. Anderson is one of the founders of “The Coldhouse Group”, which initiated a new and successful exhibition concept in 1987 using abandoned cold storage warehouses and rail terminals slated for demolition as temporary exhibition halls. These shows led to an international exchange of art and artists. In 1989, he started exhibiting his paintings in Europe and has continued to do so. Tim has taught at both the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and Columbia College.
