Biography

Timothy Harding - Artists - Cris Worley Fine Arts

Timothy Harding b. 1983 — Timothy Harding makes sculptural paintings and installations that meld traditional painting and drawing practices with technology. Harding’s artistic practice begins on the computer, here he draws the individual lines, squiggles, and shapes. He then utilizes these shapes to create vinyl stencils, while translating his digitally created drawing onto a canvas, applying layer upon layer of paint until a fully realized pattern emerges. 

Harding’s works merge the gestural nature of Abstract Expressionism with the flatness of Minimalist painting to explore how a traditionally two-dimensional object can visually and physically occupy a three-dimensional space. He purposefully stretches his finished paintings across ill-fitting supports or builds a substructure under the canvas to make the surface fold, buckle, or protrude, “sculpting” the painting into a unique shape. Harding disrupts our understanding of painting — as he makes the once two-dimensional canvas into a three-dimensional object. In this way, Harding creates a new type of medium, as he combines sculpture with painting.

Timothy Harding lives and works in Fort Worth, Texas. He is currently an Associate Professor of Art at Tarleton State University. Harding received his Master of Fine Arts degree from Texas Christian University, and his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Texas Woman’s University. In 2018, Harding was a visiting artist at the Center for Creative Connections at the Dallas Museum of Art. He has received grants from the Nasher Sculpture Center and the Dallas Museum of Art. Harding has curated four exhibitions, and he was also involved in an artist collective titled Homecoming! Committee. He held residencies at 77Art, the Wassaic Project, and the Vermont Studio Center. Harding has exhibited nationally in Texas, New York, Vermont, and more.
