'Contoured, weathered' - Tim Allen's new exhibition at Defiance Gallery
Tim Allen's latest show opens at Defiance Gallery Newtown from the 18th April. It's a blockbuster exhibition of mostly larger works exploring Tim's love of wild landscapes - mountains, gorges, waterfalls - and the ways in which landscapes are eroded and weathered into being.
You can see the show online on the website, but best to see it in real life too and really experience Tim's amazing paint work and immersion into the landscape.
