"Agata" — Masterful Modernist Portrait from the Artist’s ‘Longhead’ Series
By Harry Charles Tim (Framed & Signed)
A highly compelling and richly dramatic example of Harry Charles Tim’s signature aesthetic, "Agata" belongs to the artist’s celebrated and sought-after ‘Longhead’ series. This work captures the full power of Tim’s evolving visual language, establishing a strong psychological presence through bold formal invention.
The figure is defined by her striking, exaggeratedly elongated neck—the defining motif of the ‘Longhead’ series. This compositional device serves as a deliberate nod to early 20th-century masters like Amedeo Modigliani, while simultaneously embodying Tim's uniquely contemporary expressive vision.
The subject is crowned by a dark, geometric, wedge-shaped hair and a simple navy dress. Her face is rendered in muted, expressive tones, making the intensely red, full lips and strong, defining eyes a focal point of quiet provocation and high emotional clarity.
The painting’s most powerful aesthetic feature is the masterful gold ground that covers the entire background. Executed with visible brushwork to create a richly textural, shimmering surface.
Tim, who forged his artistic path through a life rich in experience including military service and years as a fine art dealer, infuses his creations with intellectual rigour and a deep understanding of human complexity. His work channels the bold fragmentation of the Expressionists into something fresh, visceral, and profoundly original.
Collectors take note:
As a key piece from the highly recognisable ‘Longhead’ series, "Agata" is an especially important and desirable work. Tim is an emerging, distinctive voice in contemporary British painting, and his work presents not only outstanding visual power but real promise as a strong emerging investment piece.
