Painter/Poet: Watermill to Stage the Unveiling

Now transmuted to a Seascapeist, he quipped that his next change is probably obvious. ‘Yep,” he said, “I figure that it will be into a full-blown Searealist.”

Painting & Poetry

In fact Timms can anticipate another more imminent change. He will morph into a Professor of Modern Art Solutions specialising in ‘Paint and Poetism’ at the end of this month at The Watermill in Aberfeldy. There, on Thursday and Friday 29/30 June, with his wordsmith collaborator John Ramsay, he will stage ‘The Conclusion’ – the sequel to a novel event held in Fearnan Hall on 6 April past.

Starting at 7.30pm in the Café-Conservatory Level of the venue, the evenings will consist of a Show and Tell of the Process. This will explore and explain the interactive event at the Fearnan Arts’ night, and how it initiated and inspired the resulting painting.

This will culminate in the unveiling of the canvas and the 'deconstruction', for the audience's benefit, of the resulting artwork.

A short Discussion Workshop will follow to situate this process within the history of practices employed by the surrealist movement in generating inspiration among its proponents.

Draw Attraction

A free draw will be made for the winning entrance ticket number (60 only on each night) for a signed/dedicated, mounted but unframed print of the painting. These will be accompanied by autographed prints of the poem.

100 limited edition prints are to be available. Those attending will have full bookshop and current exhibition access, and their £5 admission includes a greeting glass of wine. A pay bar will be available for continued libation.

The event is organised in collaboration with Fearnan Arts Club and tickets, strictly limited to 60 per night, are available exclusively from the Watermill, Mill Street, Aberfeldy (ticketline 01887 822896)
