Moved by the disquiet of the forgotten space, the abandoned building or a night time petrol station, Tim Goffe’s painterly style is a balance of precision and expressive mark-making, and has developed from his desire to translate, fleeting moments of observed malaise into oil paintings. He looks for beauty in the ordinary, and meaning in the banal. Themes develop but light is always the starting point .
