All work : Tim Bulmer [Biography]

Tim Bulmer

Tim Bulmer was born in Northumberland in 1958 and became interested in art at an early age. Tim Bulmer's big break came when working for an art gallery when the proprietors allowed him to exhibit some of his work. Very quickly this small collection became very popular and Tim Bulmer began painting on a full time basis.

When asked to describe his artistic style, Tim Bulmer points the same ruthless spotlight at himself as he does at his subjects, saying simply that wry observation of life and an unwillingness to take anything seriously more or less sums up his work, typically forgetting to mention the imagination and artistry that characterises each of Tim Bulmer's images.

Tim Bulmer's overwhelming rise in popularity was reflected when he scooped the Fine Art Trade Guild's Best Selling Original Print Artist award in May 2001.

Tim Bulmer states; 'I am fascinated by the incredible diversity of life and am constantly inspired by the fact that it always seems a whisker away from farce'.
