Past Works
Timothy Schouten
Tim is a Canadian artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba. His work explores the land, aboriginal peoples, as well as other aspects of human life. Tim works in various media and formats including encaustic, acrylic, text painting, and collages. In one series called “The Treaty Suites”,
Tim created landscapes to explore the power of the aboriginal presence in Manitoba. He also painted series of works on horses (In the Absence of Horses), dogs, and public bathrooms, examining their understated and undefined significance.
During his residency, Tim painted in encaustic and watercolor, both in the studio and en plein air around the farm. After reading, writing, wandering the area and conversing with local people, Tim learned about the vanished history and presence of native tribes. He is planning a return residency in 2023 to do more research into and visit places important to local history and particularly to the native American past, painting works inspired by these places.
