Timothy Haslet - Haslet Studio

Timothy Haslet's paintings over the last few years have featured a fluorescent acrylic base layer with layers of semi-translucent oil paint on top. This creates a beautiful balance of “clouds” and “soft” areas of color on the canvas, adding to the already dynamic qualities that are typical of his work. Viewers often ask if the paintings are somehow backlit; when the reality is simply that our eyes are perceiving and translating purposeful color choices.

New to this year: more layers of fluorescent acrylic paint, some in the form of light (almost watercolor-like) washes, giving the artworks a full, colorful and subtle presence. Phosphorescent paints in blues, greens and pinks softly glow when even no light is present.
