Tim Novara
Tim Novara is a San Diego, California-based artist whose work has origins in the fields of architecture and urban design. His artwork strives to analyze the constructed, urban world and its relationship to the individual person. He has shown in regional and national juried exhibitions, notably as a Centennial Honoree at the San Diego Museum of Art, as well as exhibitions at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and the San Diego International Airport. Novara earned a Bachelor of Architecture from Syracuse University, including a year abroad in Florence, Italy. He also holds a Master of Education from Vanderbilt University.
Fascinated with the constructed world, made up of cities, buildings, monuments, and public spaces, which are often viewed as passive or static backdrops to daily life. Tim Novara seeks to analyze our relationship through an architectural lens and different mediums that are in dialogue with one another: pencil and watercolor drawings and acrylic mixed-media paintings. His photography and linework form the primary compositional elements, which are brought to life through thin layers of semi-transparent paint. Color, saturation, and matte/gloss finishes evoke movement as well as personal emotions, memory, and environmental conditions unique to his time on site.
The show is open all October at MYLR Bookstore!
