'High Spirits' by Tim Grove

Tim Grove is a Sydney artist and designer exploring visual communication and expression.

Stimulated by abstract and surreal art, cinema, science and architecture, Tim’s aesthetic language is compelled forward by frantic curiosity. Perpetually seeking new forms and techniques, a dedication to constant incremental improvement informs a distinct, genre and practice melding style that overwhelms the daily noise. Tim’s intention is to grip, entertain and enrapture the viewer or passer-by.

A versatile skillset with foundations in art direction and graphic design, he is fluent in 3D motion design, procedural art, photography and animation. This versatility is compounded by a deliberate and critical thought process, aligning strategic outcomes to a creative filter in reply to commercial and artistic briefs.

I wanted to create something for One that suggested unity, togetherness and optimism. High Spirits depicts ribbons of all colours and sizes, sailing ever-upward in parallel.
It implies that we can all weather uncertainty when we stick together.
