Tim Daly

Tim Daly was born and raised in Jersey City, New Jersey; his home and studio are in Hoboken. He was known early on for his paintings of the mostly unseen landscape surrounding Jersey City and the Meadowlands, and the urban industrial landscape of the New York/New Jersey Metro area. His subject matter has expanded to include the rest of the world. His work has been shown in numerous area museums and galleries throughout the United States and Europe. 

THE FIRST AFTERNOON OF OUR LONGEST WAR, 2017

Acrylic on canvas

48” H X 60” W

Painted seventeen years after the United States war in Afghanistan began, This paintings grew out of Tim’s longstanding fascination with the look and geo-politics of the “Graveyard of Empires”. For the past three decades, this clash between mass industrialization and the natural world has been the basis of much of Daly’s paintings and drawings. In his own words, “Battlefield events provided “dramatic and exotic subjects”.

GLOBAL HAWK CRASH, MD, 2017

Acrylic on muslin

30" H x 48" W

Working like a filmmaker, Tim creates mood pieces set where events seem about to happen. Most of the subjects of these paintings and drawings have the interweaving threads of oil, aviation, climate-change consequences, and war. In his words, "In this age of permanent war and now obvious global warming, cameras are everywhere. Missile launches and mountains on fire have become an everyday sight. . . All of these individual images have a larger context; the web of ongoing 21st-century history".
