Chloe — Signed Modernist Portrait from the Artist’s ‘Longhead’ Series
By Harry Charles Tim (Framed & Signed)
A powerful and dramatically contrasting example of Harry Charles Tim’s highly successful ‘Longhead’ series. "Chloe" is a magnificent statement piece, utilising deep, atmospheric tones and bold figuration to achieve a work of exceptional psychological depth and refined visual impact.
The portrait exemplifies the artist’s unique contribution to Modernist portraiture. The figure is characterised by the signature elongated neck, a compositional choice that draws direct stylistic lineage from the elegant, stylised figures of the Parisian School masters, yet reinterpreted through Tim’s contemporary, expressive lens.
The subject's sharp, stylised features are set against a dramatic, near-black midnight ground, which intensifies the figure's presence. Her bold red hair and vivid red dress provide a striking, emotional counterpoint to the deep background, while her cool, reserved gaze gives the piece a captivating sense of interiority and quiet provocation.
"Chloe" is a superb demonstration of Tim’s mature technique. The paint is applied with his characteristic heavy impasto and direct brushwork, creating a tactile surface quality. The deliberate contrast between the simple, geometric form of the red hair and the sculpted, expressive features of the face showcases the artist's ability to blend formal invention with profound emotional expression.
As a key piece from the highly sought-after ‘Longhead’ series, "Chloe" directly references the trajectory of 20th-century Expressionism while forging a fresh, contemporary path. Harry Charles Tim is emerging as a genuinely distinctive voice in contemporary British painting, celebrated for his intellectual rigour and emotionally literate narratives.
For the discerning collector: This painting offers both enduring visual drama and excellent potential as a strong emerging investment piece.
Presented in a sympathetic bold gilded frame that mirrors the vibrancy of the red tones, "Chloe" is signed by the artist and is presented in excellent condition, ready to take centre stage in a modern or traditional collection.
