The Four Seasons concept IX
oil and graphite on board.,
12in. x 16in. ±30.5cm. x 40.6cm
This oil concept for 'The Four Seasons' is predominantly a study of hands. Movement and emotion is incredibly important in this painting, and those essentials to Tim Cantor live very significantly within how he envisions them.
Tie's Fortune concept I
graphite, watercolor, sanguine, ink & charcoal on dyed paper.,
9in. x 12in. ±22.9cm. x 30.5cm.
"These tears from me are days from time; Precious, Priceless, Maddening, Mine." Taken from his poem for this painting, Tim Cantor's has rendered these words into his refined drawing.
Every Man's Struggle concept III
charcoal on paper., 12.3in. x 9.5in. ±31.2cm. x 24.1cm.
Inspired by a line from Thomas Hobbes that essentially reads "Every man against every man" was written as political statement towards the nature of man without rules, which inevitably leads to war. Tim Cantor rendered his perception as an internal war. "Every man" was veritably one man - perhaps himself?
En Pointe concept VII
graphite, watercolor, ink, oil, gouache on dyed paper.,
12.25in. x 8.5in. ±31.1cm. x 21.6cm.
Held dearly to the artist, this exquisite work was created before another painting titled Come Ruin or Rapture. The alligators went into that painting, while Tim Cantor eventually modified his design for En Pointe with leopards. En Pointe was inspired by the life of a dear friend named Margarita, who lived a full life and left powerful words to the artist. Not to mention, Tim Cantor's wife Amy posed for this painting.
