Let Me Go /  by Tim Lane

Why, yes, according to Spotify, I did listen to the song “Let Me Go” by Heaven 17 more than any other song in 2021. Well, 2021 isn’t over, and I’m competitive…even though I say I’m not…

Let me go.

The Connect: SOLD /  by Tim Lane

I almost always make art because I have something which I want to say or convey. But I don’t analyze it too much anymore. My life seems to be better when I am making art. I will add that I think art-making gives me a sense of commitment and accomplishment, which is important.

Anyway, it is always nice when somebody digs what I am doing and/or hears what I am saying. We want to be heard. The new trio of landscapes with space object have sold.

When Landscape Meets Concept: A New Trio /  by Tim Lane

I am not a landscape painter by any stretch of the imagination. But I’m pretty happy with how this trio of paintings turned out. A synthesis of landscape and concept. Each painting is 10”x10”.

Landscape & Space Object /  by Tim Lane

I am really feeling these small landscapes with space object. I like the tactile-ness of the brown packing paper. I like working with crayon. My favorite drawing utensil is a blue Caran d’Ache non-photo pencil.

Beyond the Horizon, 2021

Nation of Language's Second Release /  by Tim Lane

Brooklyn-based synth pop (revivalists) band Nation of Language has released a second album, A Way Forward. I really like this band. And I confess that they remind me of a lot of things 80s—a mash up of many 80s bands like OMD, Depeche Mode, Ultravoxx and even Roxy Music.

(I’m all for a synth pop revival, by the way! Far as I can tell, it’s been on for a while, now.)

After you get past the opening of the first track, the pace feels a bit less insistent than the songs on Introduction, Presence (2020)—but I haven’t spent a lot of time with the new album, yet. I’m just excited it’s out. See for yourself.

If you like 80s synth music, you will like Nation of Language.

Here’s a link to Pitchfork’s review.

Above the Cove, a New Painting /  by Tim Lane

Above the Cove is a continuation of The Sublime series. Another small landscape populated by a solitary futuristic object. A ship? A portal? Both? I am not sure. When I began this series, it was clearly an alien aircraft, in my mind. But now, I do not know. It is an arrival, or something arriving. Advanced technology. Something we cannot prevent. Or an event for which we will be responsible—or held responsible. Someday or some day.

Please enjoy the galleries and the shop. More links below.
