2. Tim Fowler

What is like travelling to exhibit your work internationally? How do you get funding from the Arts Council (UK)? What is it like painting a portrait live in front of a TV crew? What is the best way to manage large-scale commissions for corporate clients?

I hopped on the train to Leicester and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon chatting to Tim Fowler and visiting the studios of his fellow artists.

Whether he is sketching portraits, firing paint at canvases with a fire extinguisher or creating an NFT portrait of Van Gogh, Tim’s bold style is immediately recognisable - expressive paint strokes, a joyfully colourful palette - and of course, a great use of the colour pink!

Tim is inspiring in his energetic approach to creating his own opportunities. On this episode, he spoke about overcoming his nerves to take on dauntingly large commissions, painting a portrait live in front of television crews and taking his work to Brooklyn and LA.

He is passionate about building a vibrant network of artists in his Leicester studio complex and has impressively secured Arts Council funding to showcase artwork in the gallery space in the building.
