Timmy Saville
A playful collage exploring the human figure through fragments of everyday materials. Soft colour, cardboard and packaging are brought together with bold black shapes, creating movement and structure within the composition. Reflecting Timmy Saville’s fascination with fragments rather than the whole, Figure gives familiar, discarded materials a new visual life, balancing harmony with a characteristic sense of mischief.
