Tim Bučković

An exhibition of new paintings by the Melbourne-based artist Tim Bučković, his second exhibition with 1301SW, and first at the Sydney gallery.

… morning, I stare at pillars in the morning. Shadows cast from pillars in the morning. Architecture articulating attributes. Verticality.

I’m outside, looking in, surrounded by towers to triumph. Crumbling, tearing from history, I linger like a chimney lone in a field. We are remnants. I’m a figure in the morning, a pillar with a shadow.

I look at a searing light, the sun and everything else. I’m a figure among and staring at figures. Frozen or am I in motion? Hard to tell. Still or somewhat still. Have I fallen? Hard to tell.

This scenography is in slow motion, time in transit on a crawling train.

I crawl out at morning. Crowds and commotion in the morning. I don’t like confrontation. I hide behind pillars, behind history, in the shadows,

of pillars.
