This series is of one off pieces including oil paintings on linen and monotypes on heavyweight hand-made paper.
I live and work in Cadiz Province on the Costa de la Luz in south-west Spain. With its sparkling light, the Costa de la Luz - the coast of light - has long been a magnet for artists, and like many artists before me, I was drawn to it. It is in the landscape that I make drawings before going into the studio to make pieces of work which are a distillation of ideas rather than directly representational pieces. Fluid and evocative, my landscape paintings explore the world we see and I strive to find something new and interesting to say about it.

Silkscreen printing first appeared in China in 10th century where a silk weave was stretched over a wooden frame which was then used to transfer ink onto a surface, except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. Today the silk has been replaced by synthetic threads, the wooden frames by aluminium ones and the stencils are mostly created photographically. Once the screen is made and placed onto screen bed, a rubber blade called a squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate (usually paper or fabric) momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. One colour is printed at a time, so several screens can be used to produce a multicoloured image or design. This process is caused colour separation and continues until the image is complete.

Biography
Tim Southall is a contemporary British artist hailing from a family of artists, which fostered his creative upbringing. One of his forebearers was a renowned printmaker known for transcribing J.M.W. Turner’s paintings into engravings during the early twentieth century. Tim is a graduate of the Royal College of Art in London and the École des Beaux Arts in Paris, and he has worked as a professional artist for many years.
For the past 18 years, he has divided his time between Cádiz Province in southern Spain, where he creates much of his work, and a large print studio in Birmingham, UK. As a printmaker, Tim also engages in painting, utilizing various mediums including etching, silkscreen, monotype, and oil on canvas, paper, and board.
As a figurative artist, his interests remain fairly traditional and representational. His body of work spans a broad spectrum of subjects, ranging from fluid, evocative landscapes to narrative pieces deeply rooted in the printmaking tradition. Tim strives to create art that resonates with people, aiming to reach into their souls and touch their hearts.

The London Original Print Fair (LOPF) was founded in 1985 to provide an unrivalled opportunity to view and buy original prints spanning five centuries, from top international dealers, publishers and studios. After 35 years at the Royal Academy of Arts, LOPF moved to a new venue in 2022: the elegant galleries at Somerset House in the Strand.
he purpose of the Fair is to promote prints as collectable works of art. Printmaking has been instrumental in the development of art since the 15th century and the wide span of prints on sale at the Fair sets contemporary prints in their historical context. Artists at the Fair often include old and modern masters, from Dürer, Rembrandt and Canaletto to Whistler, Matisse and Picasso. Prints by today's leading artists are also frequently for sale, including works by celebrated printmakers David Hockney, Cornelia Parker, Grayson Perry, Paula Rego and Bridget Riley.
