Jim Tetlow
Born 1974, UK
I like ambiguity in art. Uncertainty. What has to conform to the limits of our reality? Metal, glass and flesh can merge seamlessly, as if the surreal worlds and the life forms within are one and the same, and yet at odds sometimes. I rarely seek to endow my works with any "message". I am more interested in people's personal responses.
I'm a multimedia artist working in fine art (including sculpture), digital art, graphic design and various forms inbetween, also illustrating book covers and numerous CD covers. I also work in musical soundscaping, both solo and in group projects, of which there are many releases. I'd like to say a big thanks to everyone here who has supported me in my work and beyond since I began posting in June 2001. Too many to mention, you all know who you are... I'm meeting very special people here :-)
Update 01-08-05: I've been given a 4 page feature article in Issue 3 of the new media magazine Contour based in Atlanta, Georgia. The images printed very well and they did me proud.
Update 21-03-06: I've been spending the last 6 months living in New South Wales, Australia. Inspiring place! Also in the process of illustrating the book covers for a series of Japanese books called Hikishio no Toki (Time of the Ebb Tide) by Mayumura Taku - to date I've completed the first two of the five volumes. I've recently been returning to traditional media as well as producing the usual digital art, and contributed a sculptural canvas to a recent local exhibition. Link: Saatchi Gallery webspace
Update 09-01-21: I hadn't even logged in for some years. It's weird nipping back here after not even posting for 13 years, like revisiting your old school incognito. As I'm not active here anymore I wonder if anyone will even see this again besides me.

oh... yes... this is really good! i definitely like a lot what i see here...! yes yes yes... :) quite strong and interesting structures... especually the way you "arranged" everything on the cloth - very good!!! :) really like to see it "in real" :) looking forward to see your further steps here...!

I agree with you I don't think this one quite pulls it off in white as well as the previous one. If you can succesfully add a touch of suble colour I think it will probably be brilliant. Very promising!!

It is remarkable how many textures and designs you can introduce in this. Very original. I like it.

I love the way the textures come through the canvas in this one adding a lot of depth & intrigue to the suggestion of form, great abstract composition already but I'm eager to see how it evolves with the use of some colour too, really cool work Jim keep them coming! ; )

Good picture in good texture

Very cool Jim! (are you robbing Cassie of all her bedsheets?? :-) I like the white, makes the abstract form so beautiful, but it would be interresting to see you add some color too.

First there was nothing, then a bedsheet, then Jim came around ... I love your minimalism!

I'd love to try something on this scale, or bigger! I have my own ideas of how I'd finish this, but better not say anything just now :-) But even as is, it has the same sort of beauty as an iceberg...

I'm glad you preserved this as is. It is exceptional artwork right now. I look forward to the color version. I believe each version will have it's own mystique and each will convey something different. I really like the lighting and shadows that define and add drama to the shapes and curves.
DEITRIX
Very interesting piece of work- looks great now & sure the color will add to its wonder.....
