You have probably noticed that we have posted a news item about Tim Biedron, but after discovering the triptych we had to write further more about it.
In the first place a triptych, even without the artist having it clear in the mind, always tells a story. This one has got an implicit story too, and an amazing one.
In a post modern approach, the order is not correct as a 123 but more into a 231 which leads a greatest importance to the center one:
1 - Ghostly hands, a Spirit hand approaches the Owl, it possesses her.
2 - The hands become real; they seem to be growing from within the owl
3 - The hands now become a part of the owl and as opposite to it, we see a "natural" owl by it's side
This story is so dark and so poetic that seems to come from the same magic we feel about the forest. It is universal, and it is more than religious, it is ancestral.
I personally do not care about what it means, but more on how it makes me feel. And this is the magic about this artwork, it makes you wander.
The technique adds the quality to the storytelling, shellac and pencil, being the forest with it's stones geometrically created, the trees on the background so much dream like and the Owls with pencil, reminds me of Van Gogh/ Hokusai approach to textures. Your eyes cannot get fix in a point, they wander, adding great dynamic to a static figure.
It is a mature work of a talented artist and its price does not match the quality.
Maybe it's my eyes, maybe it's magic.
