Tim Vagg
| Date of Birth: | 16 February 1973 |
| Origin: | Melbourne |
In recent years those who have followed Tim Vagg’s work have watched this artist develop a style that is uniquely his own. Cohesive, considered and engaging, Vagg creates rich, high key, colourful artworks that appear to almost come alive on the canvas and immediately engage the viewer.
Increasingly, Vagg has added a socio-political commentary to his work, through a combination of historical research and intuitive artistic invention. The artist allows us to reconsider and reassess the layers of narrative tied up in the pursuit of the 'The Australian identity.' As his raw material, the artist draws on various icons, events, and historical figures to form a visual ‘urban folk-art’ language.
