This substantial new monograph on Perth-born, London-based artist Tim Braden presents paintings and works on paper produced over the past twenty years. Featuring new and recent texts by Matt Incledon and Thomas Marks, along with abridged versions of key texts by Jennifer Higgie and Dominic Molon, the publication has been designed by Joe Gilmore and is co-published by Frestonian Gallery and Anomie Publishing, London.Tim Braden's work sits at the meeting point of restlessness and order. His London studio mirrors this balance: serene white walls and clear worktables face shelves crammed with books, pinned postcards and sketches, racks of brushes and pigments, odd sculptures and suspended remnants of installations. That duality - calm structure alongside eclectic curiosity - animates his painting practice.Across two decades, Braden has resisted linear progression. Within weeks he might move from fine ink drawings to rich oil interiors or expansive acrylic abstractions. His exhibitions are curated like group shows - varied yet unified by a refined command of colour and the interplay between abstraction and figuration, each mode constantly informing the other.Braden's subjects are equally diverse: mountains and interiors, books, posters, craftspeople and travellers, all rendered through a vivid and enquiring gaze. A formative visit to his cousin Patrick Heron's studio sparked his lifelong fascination with colour; later influences, including Josef and Anni Albers and the Bauhaus legacy, deepened his engagement with craft, design and teaching.His landscapes - particularly mountains - form a language of peaks, lakes and snow through which he explores structure, scale and the subtleties of tone. Sometimes Western in perspective, sometimes aerial and Eastern in approach, they turn apparent emptiness, such as snow or sky, into delicate fields of chromatic activity. Human presence appears fleetingly - houses, figures or traces of printed media - reminding us that perception is always mediated.Braden's North African works, especially from Tangier and Algiers, question how artists look at the 'exotic'. He acknowledges the legacy of Orientalism by painting both the beauty and the filters through which it is seen, often embedding postcards or reproductions within his compositions. His working process preserves the immediacy of sketches even when scaled up, maintaining freshness and spontaneity.A parallel thread, explored in Making is Thinking, celebrates the artistry of labour. Braden paints weavers, gardeners and ceramicists - frequently women - paying homage to forms of making often dismissed as craft. He treats the act of creation as a shared human impulse, echoing Anni Albers' belief in listening to 'what the materials want to do'.Whether depicting the studios of admired painters, domestic interiors or his own home, Braden transforms rooms into quiet temples of colour and reflection. His garden scenes likewise suggest care and contemplation in an overstimulat.…
