On Making Pictures

- Blog Entry 2, provisional date, Sept 2, 2008

A picture bears witness to the world. The world is a totality of facts that then present other facts that are pictures, not a totality of things (objects). Facts in logical space must be embedded, must be “set”.

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.
