Harry Charles Tim Neo-Expressionist Painting ‘Kate at the Show’ from the 'Longhead' Series, 2026
This striking, high-impact 2026 portrait is a premier example of contemporary Neo-Expressionism by the rapidly rising British artist Harry Charles Tim. Entitled ‘Kate at the Show’, this work is a significant inclusion in the artist's highly acclaimed and deeply cerebral 'Longhead' series.
The 'Longhead' series is distinguished by its profound, existential exploration of form, characterised by the elegant elongation of the subject’s head and features, a sophisticated contemporary nod to the melancholic anatomy of Modigliani and the raw psychological intensity of early 20th-century European avant-garde movements.
The composition plays brilliantly with theatrical observation. The subject, Kate, is framed against a rich, velvety background, allowing the intense, layered palette to advance dramatically toward the viewer. Tim masterfully employs a sophisticated interplay of skin tones—blending cool, structural neutrals with intense slashes of primary color, offset by the instantly arresting, vibrant scarlet of the lips and the deep, contemplative gaze. The clean, graphic boundaries afforded by the acrylic medium are beautifully balanced by areas of heavy, deliberate brushwork, giving the canvas an incredible tactile energy, psychological depth, and undeniable presence.

Dealer’s Comments
"There is an undeniable magnetism to 'Kate at the Show' that made it a complete standout during its recent exhibition at the Battersea Decorative Fair. Belonging to Harry Charles Tim's definitive 'Longhead' series, the painting beautifully demonstrates his ability to use anatomical distortion, specifically the elongated, elegant framing of the face, to unlock a deeper emotional and psychological truth.
