Surrounded by vivid botanical paintings and expressive studies of skulls, Fowler’s studio reflects an artistic practice built on experimentation. His semi-abstract works take recognisable subjects and transform them through bold colour, energetic mark-making and layers of texture, leaving space for each viewer to find their own interpretation.

That sense of creative freedom has been central to Fowler’s journey from the beginning. As a teenager, he was inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat, whose fearless creativity and distinctive approach to art helped him see becoming an artist as a possible career.

Today, that freedom is evident in Fowler’s dynamic use of mixed media, vibrant colour and expressive marks. His process combines intention with exploration, allowing each work to develop as he responds to the canvas.

This was brought vividly to life this summer with Tim’s 100 Skulls Project. Over four days in July, he created 100 individual skull paintings, each with its own distinctive personality. Taking a single familiar motif in 100 different directions, he explored variations in colour, composition and mood – demonstrating the creative possibilities within a single subject.

The same approach can be seen in Fowler’s botanical paintings. Flowers and leaves provide the starting point, but are transformed into exuberant compositions of electric pink, turquoise, blue, purple, red and yellow. Rather than simply depicting nature, Fowler captures its energy through colour, movement and abstraction.
