DescriptionTimothy Hawkesworth grew up in Ireland and moved to the USA in 1977, where he began to work on a larger scale. In recent decades, his paintings mirror the scale of the painter’s body, as is the case in Fragile Hold. He has increasingly focused on the performative act of painting itself and the energy imbued in mark making.
