31GRAND is proud to present Tim Wilson's solo exhibition SEE ME, FEEL ME. Tim's lush hyperrealist paintings, which range in size from 12 inches to 13 feet in length, depict an intoxicating psychosexual tableau. Phallic images of cameras and microphones mingle with psychedelic renderings of fake flowers soaked in a Caravaggio light. The glistening surfaces of oily plastic figurines, partaking in lustful orgies, mimic the impenetrable surface of Wilson's meticulously crafted canvases, creating a seductively baroque world of desire. It is from throwaway culture that this world is created, where butterflies drink freely from nectar that is amyl nitrate. Wilson is interested in theatrics and artifice but he imbues such images as forgotten gumball machine toys with such loving care and attention to detail that it transcends their origins as the they recede into the layers of varnish beyond our grasp.

A special thanks to Stephen Heighton for the loan of his commissioned painting See Me, Feel Me and to Adam Singer and Nesti Mendoza for their loan of Rush.
