In Kent\u2019s painting, architecture and landscape are fused with gestural brush marks and elements of abstraction, but the picture plane is never flattened. Rather, the viewer is drawn into a deep space enhanced by Kent\u2019s characteristic, symbolic perspectival grid lines. A reference to the Renaissance system used for constructing pictorial space, Kent\u2019s perspectival lines evoke contemporary technological, mechanical and social systems such as electric grids, building elevation lines, internet networks, social networks, the flow of politics and information, and displays of power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The artist\u2019s imagery has evolved over the course of several bodies of work including\u00a0<i>A World After Its Own Image<\/i>\u00a0(2016)\u00a0<i>Dark Pools and Data Lakes<\/i>\u00a0(2018) and\u00a0<i>Enfilade\u00a0<\/i>(2020). \u00a0Kent describes his paintings as sometimes \u201cstemming from a reaction to an event or moment from my life or the world, which I then use as the basis for my work.\u201d \u00a0In other instances, his compositions \u201crefer back to my own archive, whether photographs I\u2019ve taken or found, or an image from an earlier work that continues to attract me psychologically or aesthetically. As Kent develops a painting, \u201cthe subject moves into focus, usually revealing some form of juxtaposition or conflict which serves as the basis for a larger body of work. Certain themes recur, historical narratives as cultural capital, or the interiors of stately architecture as artifact and landscapes modified by industry.\u201d \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12549\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12549\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-12549 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent.jpg?resize=640%2C642&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"642\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent-scaled.jpg?resize=1021%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1021w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent-scaled.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent-scaled.jpg?resize=768%2C771&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent-scaled.jpg?resize=1531%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1531w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent-scaled.jpg?resize=2041%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2041w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent-scaled.jpg?resize=696%2C698&amp;ssl=1 696w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent-scaled.jpg?resize=1068%2C1072&amp;ssl=1 1068w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent-scaled.jpg?resize=419%2C420&amp;ssl=1 419w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/museumofnonvisibleart.com\/interviews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/01_Tim-Kent-scaled.jpg?w=1392&amp;ssl=1 1392w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12549\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tim Kent (b. 1975) Print Thief, 2022 Oil on canvas 33 x 33 in.
