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.

Another wonderful piece by you. Your talent and creativity shows through in all your works. Excellent work!!!

Joyful? Yes, I think so. Yet the framing effect hints at voyeurism to me ;-) However there's nothing sleazy about it. Just a chance meeting of reflections on a sunny morning.

Awwww! Yes yes, I totally understand what u mean and I think everyone experiences those 'lil spiritual and deep emotions once in a while! And what a joy it is to feel it indeed! A most intriguing image...leaves me perplexe...once again! ;) It surely reflects what u felt and that's also why it's so intriguing I think cos it's a very personal experience and to describe it is almost impossible...can see the feeling though....

"...a kind of quiet joy to be alive" - wonderful words with the picture that tells it too; those moments are the precious - and it's so nice to see those moments in a picture that stays forever, or at least almost :-) Thank you for this picture with all the words and feelings in it!

Before reading your words, this work appeared kind of violent to me. You've torn off the face while the world around crumbles and blinds with its light. Its interesting that the viewer can project themselves into the piece so easily while getting a different feeling than what was intended in its inception. Its a very strong picture.

It is very difficult to find the right words for your work.It is more than that.It is a feeling I just have to accept.Perfection is the nearest I can use but the touch is the right one. Exl.image!

Love the colors and subtle power. Reminds me of a Dave McKean cover for a SANDMAN comic. Good show, old sport!
