Timothy Betton is interested in how light can distort a space, warp its boundaries, and create a spectacle of its own. If light is the ultimate material, how do we capture it in all its elusiveness? Betton offers a reply in his two-dimensional works, turning to light’s first receiver – the human eye. After all, it is only through the eye and its camera-like intricacies that light can be tempered at all – the iris a camera’s shutter, the retina its film. Betton’s abstract pieces are distinctly concerned with this modulation, using geometric studies and linear repetitions to balance multiple facades of paint. Through his palette of greens and blues lies mystery; slight colour adjustments we may or may not pick up on, and the slowed down fading of light into dark that is impossible to separate.
As of 2021 Timothy has begun the MA in Landscape Architecture at University of Sheffield, a degree combining his interest in art, nature, and space.
