Tim Seaward Peinture [Royaume-Uni]

2006
ART1ST - VAN Group Show at Stourbridge Bonded Warehouse 20-27 May
Stourbridge Art Market - date to be confirmed (but its just before ART1ST)
A dangerouse step towards the labyrinth - solo exhibition at the Courtyard Hereford 8 June till 29 July ... includes performance poetry on private view - contact me if you want to come ... well before June 8.

I have been painting ever since I was seven and I have always had an active interest in anything to do with art.
I have performed at a number of venues such as the ICA in London, and at the Edinburgh Fringe.
I took part in the first poetry Birming-slam at the MAC in Edgbaston and have read my poetry in various places around the country.

However, my "first love" is painting, and I have always been able to produce work in the most unlikely places ... I began a series of surreal work in the jungles of Malaya ... whilst being employed by Her Majesty's Government as a Royal Marine. I produced some detailed pencil work in the foothills of the Himalaya's ...whilst being taught Tibetan Buddhism at the monastry that is the present home (in exile) of the Dalai Lama. And I was inspired to produce a series of abstract pastels whilst attempting (and failing!) to go on a solo trek around Dartmoor.

If you want a chronogy of my artistic endeavours then:

1958 First inspired to paint
