Timothy's personal family history encompasses Ghana, where he was born, Sierra Leone, where he lived until the age of nine, and the UK where he current lives and works. This catalogue illustrates works from 2021 to 2022 with a focus on two solo exhibitions with Gallery 1957 in Accra, Ghana and London, England, Grandma's Hands, Accra, Ghana (2021), and Postcards from a Promised Land, London, England (2022)."Arthur Timothy (b. 1957, Ghana. Lives and works in Bath and London) Arthur Timothy is an artist and architect, whose artworks often depict close family members and autobiographical events, specifically in Accra, where the artist was born in the same year that Ghana gained independence from colonial rule, and Freetown, Sierra Leone, where he lived until the age of 9. His early large-scale oil paintings, inspired by an archive of photographs found amongst his father's papers, encourage considered and nuanced responses frozen in time. In fresh washes of colour, the artist presents images that are underpinned by memory, both personal and political. Timothy's work is included in the permanent collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, USA; The ICA Miami, USA; The Tia Collection, USA; The Dean Collection, USA; and other notable private collections. His drawings are retained in the V&A and RIBA Drawings Collection, UK. Arthur Timothy was born in Accra, Ghana and spent his early childhood in Freetown, Sierra Leone. He attended Queen's College in Taunton, England before studying Architecture at The University of Sheffield and establishing his architectural practice, Timothy Associates, in 1986. After decades of practising as a RIBA chartered architect, Arthur embarked on his career as a painter in 2018."-- Biography provided by artist, accessed 9/27/2024- Subjects: Exhibition catalogs.; Timothy, Arthur; Art, Ghanaian; Art, Modern; Painting, African; Painting, Modern; Portrait painting; Portraits; Figurative painting;
