We are delighted to have Tim Cross bring his  most recent body of work to i.e. gallery for the exhibit Through Lines : A Northwest Puzzle
 

"There’s no contest here. Things are allowed to simply sit alongside one another: structure and disorder, playfulness and solemnity, reason and the irrational. I don’t feel it’s my place to say which way is best. I’d rather see things for what they are, and find some joy and peace within this unruly existence."
Tim Cross
2026

Born and raised in the Edmonds, Washington area the influence of the NW landscape is undeniable in the artwork of Tim Cross. The mountains, the water, the trees, are all there but revealed to us with a new perspective and juxtaposition in these paintings. Cross thrives on creative invention and developing visual languages. Working with print transfers of photos on translucent fabric he builds compositions as you would a collage. He brings the delicate up against the formidable and the fluid up against the rigid, visually, in the same way his material selection does. There is an immense amount of light and space in this new work which lends a feeling of being untethered. This un-tethering is about a breathing space and freedom where all these contradictions can exist.

i.e. would like to specifically express appreciation to the Koplin Del Rio Gallery who represents Tim Cross in Seattle and to all galleries who appreciate the spirit of collaboration.
