Trees As Time Statues - Tim Green

About

This work arrives with a bold, almost tectonic energy—like two worlds colliding and holding their ground. On one side, a surge of reds, pinks, and fleshy tones pulses outward, layered with marks that feel instinctive and immediate. Opposing it, dense greens and deep blues gather into something more rooted, more grounded—like growth compressed over time. The composition splits and spills at once, with a vertical seam acting less like a boundary and more like a point of pressure, where histories meet and reshape each other.

What makes this piece compelling is its interplay between gesture and structure. There’s a raw, expressive urgency in the left side—almost figurative in flashes—while the right leans into abstraction that feels geological, accumulated, and steady. Small interruptions—textural fragments, unexpected color notes, that single stark circular form—punctuate the surface like moments of memory or recognition. It evokes trees not as literal forms, but as witnesses: layered, scarred, and enduring, holding time within their bodies.

In a space, Trees As Time Statues doesn’t recede—it activates. It brings contrast, movement, and a sense of narrative without ever resolving into one. For collectors, it offers a dynamic tension that continues to unfold: a work that speaks to growth, rupture, and resilience, and rewards those willing to sit with its complexity.
