TIMOTHÉ BORN (b. 1999) is a self-taught painter based in Montreal. His work draws from folk traditions as well as his own material and craft processes, often using personal and cultural memory as a subject through which he can achieve uncomplicated expression.

His work has recently been exhibited at La Centrale, Montreal in a group exhibition organised by Super Boat People.

From the exhibition text:

“In his Mystic Writing Pad, Freud proposed a model of memory as a layered surface: a wax layer that retains permanent impressions, hidden beneath a transparent sheet, which can be refreshed and marked anew. What remains and what is newly inscribed reflects the mind’s capacity to hold both enduring unconscious traces and conscious perception.

In the semi-detached living room it was always there. The first painting I ever saw. Houses interlocked between naked trees– warm textured yellows. I remember tracing the surface with my fingers. I remember laying backwards on the dark green couch, my feet defiantly up against the wall. Town has changed a lot since then. “

Wind Shake is on view this Saturday from noon to 5pm, Timothé Born will be present.
