ARTIST STATEMENT
Tim Britton

Artist's Statement 2009

I fabricate geometric constructions from reclaimed scrap steel (both carbon and stainless) using MIG and TIG arc welding processes. Pattern and balance are primary concerns in the mostly abstract work; the grid figures prominently in wall sculpture, while outdoor pieces incorporate cubes, spheres, icosahedra, pyramids, etc. I am fascinated by the subtlety and depth of surface texture and color achieved by welding and grinding, and by the energy of the process itself. I usually begin with only a vague idea of the final appearance of a piece, choosing material that suggests itself at the time and allowing the piece to grow in its own way. I try to convey a sort of
spirituality with my work; I find a certain peace and contemplativeness in these pieces, and it is my intent and hope that others find the same.

Steel Sculpture

Statement of Intent:
I intend to offer an experience that gives people a sense of both truth and mystery, of the wonder
inherent in even the smallest details of this world, and of the way that wonder and awareness can
bring one closer to the sacred undulations of the universe.

Tim Britton

Biological Information

Born in Rapid City, SD in 1967. Moved to WI in fall of that year, first to Marinette then West
Bend, where I graduated from West Bend East H.S. in 1985. Started at Lawrence University
(Appleton, WI) that fall as a Music major (string bass) but switched to Art after my first term of
music theory. Took a leave of absence the first term of my sophomore year and completed a 3-
month Outward Bound course in northern Minnesota and southwest Texas. Returned in January
as Sculpture major, carved a totemic wood sculpture that was installed in Peabody Park, near the
Lawrence campus. Graduated with a BA in Art History in December of 1989. Traveled around
the West for 3 months, then moved to Milwaukee. Worked variously as bartender, bicycle
mechanic, arborist, railway steward, gardener, etc. In the summer of 1994 I took my first welding
class at MATC. Bought my own welding machine in spring 1995 and set up my studio in the
basement of the house I was renting. Continued study at MATC, then enrolled in the degree
program in fall 1995. Completed AAS in Welding Technology in May of 1996, earning the Lamp
of Knowledge award and a tool scholarship. Moved to Denver in July 1996, working various
welding jobs & making art in several garages and shops. Showed & sold work at several Denver
galleries and hosted Open House / Studio each fall. Left Denver in spring 2002, worked for
Colorado Outward Bound on river courses in Utah, first in Jensen near Dinosaur National
Monument in northeastern Utah, then in Moab in the southeast. Had two studios in Moab &
work in two galleries, sold art at Farmer's Market. Moved back to WI in January 2004, worked a
factory job and bought an old farmhouse on an acre & a half in October 2004. My studio is now
in a large metal barn where I can make all kinds of noise at any hour and I'm surrounded by fields
with two marshes nearby and sandhill cranes, redtail hawks, coyotes, whitetail deer, fox, kestrels,
etc. I am finally home.

ARTIST STATEMENT

Jeremy Pinc

Artist Statement 2009

What do I care about in Art? What do I believe in? Painting, for me, is a kind of discipline, not unlike yoga or jiu-jitsu. It is a way of tuning oneself, as one might tune a guitar or a lute. That the images turn out beautiful or powerful is only one part of the whole. The whole story can never be told. Or rather, the whole story will be told in spite of the artist’s wishes and guidance. There is always something behind me that is revealed which I cannot comprehend. It is the deeper me.

Children have a great aptitude for drawing. Representing that which is around us
with visual language is natural for us, comes naturally to us. The painter can connect with other painters across time and space. This is how strong his language is. I have always sought to learn from the masters. Giants like Rembrandt, Giotto, Velazquez, Miro… What would my life be without them? I would have no friends, no compatriots!

My work takes me far from my home in rural Wisconsin. Emerson said, “Nothing is impassable to the soul, but all things are pervious to it and like highways, yet this is only whilst the soul does not see them.” The painter has the keenest eyes but also the greatest blindness. I see my surroundings with great interest but then paint from within
myself a world that exists nowhere else, and I could not say which is the more real of the two.

With this in mind the great mystery of the world is opened up and revealed. That, I might say, is the goal of my painting—my artist’s statement—to open up the world’s mystery for myself and others to witness. For what is the truth if not a beautiful fiction and what is the world if not a wonderful mystery!

Biographical Information

Jeremy Pinc was born in Chicago in 1972 and lived in the suburb of Oak Park until leaving for college in Richmond, VA in 1990. There he graduated with a degree in Art History. Following college he returned to Chicago and began showing paintings at galleries in the Chicagoland area. In 1997 Pinc moved to Italy where he would live for the next year and a half. There he studied renaissance painting and also the classical sculpture held in the Vatican and Ufizzi museums. Since that time classical art has been a touchstone and recurrent theme in his diverse painting style. In 1999, soon after returning to Chicago, Pinc moved to Madison, WI and from there to Fort Atkinson, WI where he still lives. Since 2002, he has both curated and participated in numerous group shows in Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago He continues to paint and develop new techniques. The metamorphoses of his style are often beautiful and unpredictable, jumping from one apex to the next with a remarkable agility. Elements as disparate as American Folk Art, Chinese Calligraphy, Graffiti and Greek Vase Painting seem to blend into one unique vision within his oeuvre. His work is rapidly gaining notoriety in Wisconsin and is already in collections as far away as Japan, Mexico, Germany and Italy.
In addition to a life as a visual artist, Pinc also explores his world as a playwright and musician
