Artist Reviews:
Tim Watt’s work is set within
the western figurative
tradition and explores the
individuals’ aspect of looking
onto a subject matter that is
neither stated nor given. The
viewer responds to the work as
a possible voyeur onto a
subject matter which is very
akin to film noir wherein...
