Tim Vagg
Heroes, Drunks & Bounders – Forgotten Tales of Melbourne
Tim Vagg is an artist that revels in the process, the musing, the action of making art. Having consistently practiced and exhibited over the last 15 years Vagg is a highly skilled master of his materials being able to use paint and other mediums to create rich, high key, colourful artworks that appear to almost come alive on the canvas and immediately engage the viewer. As a part of his on-going creative development Vagg delves into the history of Australian art and Western art more broadly, and through an engagement and appreciation of past artists as well as his contemporaries Vagg consistently sources new ideas and inspiration for his work. What’s more as a person Vagg chooses to engage the world rather than being a recluse or running from it, living a life rich in experience with fervor for what might come next and quite often driving what is to come.
