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.

Jim, this is magnificent! There is everything to love in this work. The figure is so interesting with the distortions and the colorations. The lighting is perfect. The halo effect and the curved line at the bottom carry the eye all around the image, and provide an exquisite finishing effect. The colors are so wonderfully selected, blended and highlighted. It is perfect to my eyes and is museum quality. Excellent ++++ V

This is an awesome surrealist work! Amazing, no clocks, trees, windows & doors, just a human figure. Full of creativity.

Very cool image overall(mood and subject). The part that really gets me as far as the technique goes I really think the way you made the leg part coming into the near ground is awesome. Gratz :)

Well, finally got around to commenting on this quite spellbinding work. The figure's pose and the concentric circles hint at some kind of mysterious mental process. Would be ideal on the cover of a psychology text book...

Mind-blowingly wonderful!

.....quite an impressive piece of work - the colour and halo effect evoke a kind of religious overtone to the sensual aspects --- and the composition gives a well ordered feeling of completeness .
