-Blog entry 12
Many of the paintings seen on this blog site are good examples of my early attempts in working out-of-doors directly from the subject. I regard them as finished paintings much like my recent work in that they are a sustained and continuous effort towards expression of the experience.
The importance of these paintings is also similar in that they establish meaning to event by what is emotively experienced. This I also believe to be fundamental to the poetics of each piece.
I use the word “emotion” in a way to correctly identify the means of selection and organization of the materials or facts that are seen. This is emotion in that it creates an affinity by which the painting or drawing holds together, it is the determination of the right incident in the right place, the correct proportion or the precise tone, shade, and hue. In relation to poetics I also believe it is also fundamental to an overall determination of aesthetics in the quality of art.

Tim Cosens
I make paintings both on-site and in the studio working from on-site studies. My on-going effort is to present the immediacy of form and the perception of the state of affairs of possible worlds.

Bio
Timothy Cosens lives and maintains a studio in London Ontario Canada. He finished his formal arts training at H. B. Beal Technical School and graduated from this locally renowned arts program in 1978 receiving first prize for the highest standing in drawing.
London Ontario, especially from the years forward of 1960, has maintained a vital and experimental arts community. This climate of forward thinking has formed a strong backdrop towards Tim's research as a painter who maintains an interest in many international, historical, and contemporary developments within the visual arts.
His own work through the years has become increasingly disciplined, showing simplicity within complexity by looking at the nature of phenomena as seen in the parkland and rural sites of London and Southwestern Ontario.
