About

Tim Silver

Biography

Lives and works in Gadigal/Sydney, Australia
Born 1974, Nipaluna/Hobart, lutruwita/Tasmania

Tim Silver is a multidisciplinary artist who explores concepts of time.

Working across sculpture, photography and installation, Silver’s practice negotiates the interspace between life and death, the past and present, the real and unreal. By life casting figures, the artist presents intimate yet haunting corporeal portraits of connection. Working with diverse materials to create his sculptures, Silver emphasises the tension between permanence and impermanence. He swiftly navigates mediums that shift between the natural, elemental and industrial, including bees wax, bronze and copper infused Forton MG.

Silver’s work is held in significant private and public collections, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; Art Gallery of South Australia, Adelaide; Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; Mint Museum, North Carolina; Wagga Wagga Art Gallery, New South Wales; Murray Art Museum, Albury; The University of Queensland Art Museum, Brisbane; Australia Council for the Arts, Sydney; Ten Cubed Private Art Collection, Melbourne. The artist has exhibited widely throughout Australia and internationally.
