Tim Woolcock's abstract Painting in a corporate setting

Welcome to the digital studio of British painter Tim Woolcock

Tim Woolcock has established himself as one of contemporary Britain’s finest colourists, working primarily in abstraction and landscape painting informed by Zen philosophy and meditative practice. His work is exhibited by selected galleries and his studio is open by appointment to view works in progress.

"The scale and proportions of his work present an internal harmony, and this mood is completed in the delicate balance between form and the exquisite colours he uses. We see lyrical lines and geometric fragmented shapes. Woolcock has seemed to show an interest in Cubism and a wonderful sense of contour and drama. There is a meditative serenity in his colour variations which perhaps reflects the contemplative personality of Woolcock himself, and his landscapes evoke the beauty and grandeur of the Irish Countryside."
