Tim Portlock
Sublime Light of Fortune
September 7 - 30, 2012

For his newest exhibition, Tim Portlock presents images based on the foreclosed buildings and arrested building constructions of Las Vegas using the conventions of 19th century American landscape painting.

Tim Portlock was born in Chicago which inspired his lifelong interest in the dialogue between place and the formation of identity. Educated primarily as a traditional visual artist Portlock has worked in the past as a community-based muralist as well as a studio painter. His current body of work is created using 3D gaming technology to simulate real world and imagined spaces based on the abandoned and foreclosed buildings in biking distance of his home in Philadelphia.
