In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Tim Allen (@timallenshots)
\"My work over the last six to seven years has attempted to draw together a number of disparate, sometimes contradictory, formal elements and subjects or themes that have all featured in my work over the last forty five years at different times. I hope that the paintings are more than the sum of their parts and that they can generate a broad response in whoever’s looking at them, emotionally and intellectually. I don’t want to limit this response by trying to define their ‘content’ too rigidly\".
