Tim Oelman – Mali Meets Morocco
by Oxmarket Contemporary | Chichester
Oxmarket are pleased to welcome Tim Oelman to the Wilson Gallery for a 2 week exhibition titled Mali Meets Morocco. Born in Wales, Tim grew up in Sussex and attended London Metropolitan University for an MA in Art, Design and Visual Culture. He went on to study tapestry at Morley College.
Tim is a handwoven tapestry artist whose work is mainly inspired by the visual arts of Mali and Morocco with a particular interest in exploring sign and symbol. His work also includes small-scale basket weaving and Malian mudcloth (bogolan).
Recent work has explored the markings and tones of seashore pebbles.
This exhibition coincides with the twentieth anniversary of his first trip to Mali and to the fabled city of Timbuktu.
