Tim Maguire was born in Chertsey, England in 1958. He graduated from the Sydney Art Institute with a Diploma in Painting and completed post-graduate studies at the Sydney College of the Arts in 1984. He now lives and works in France and the United Kingdom.
His paintings and prints are distinctive for their rich colouration and technical skill. He uses digital photographs as source material and applies colour separation techniques to achieve the effect of a ‘painted photograph’.
His recent work contains close up images of flowers or parts of flowers which are initially photographed then painted on large canvases using a grainy technique resulting in images that seem glowing or translucent.
He has exhibited widely throughout Australia and Europe and his work is represented in many public and corporate collections.
