BIOGRAPHY
Timothy Hyman (1946-2024) was a highly acclaimed British painter, writer, curator and lecturer. Born in Hove Sussex but brought up in London, Hyman reflected on his personal connection to the City he both lived and worked in. His work was strongly autobiographical and expressionist in its distortive nature.
Hyman studied at the Slade School of Fine Art from 1963-1967) and exhibited widely in the UK, Italy and India. In the late 1970s, Timothy became a contributing editor to Artscribe magazine, going on to write more than 250 articles, essays, catalogue introductions and reviews for a range of publications and exhibitions. He had his first solo show in 1981, and more than a dozen more would follow. In 2000, he was crucial in setting up the Royal Drawing School in London, a not-for-profit organisation. In 2007, he won the National Portrait Gallery Travel Award and lectured at renowned venues such as The Tate and The National Gallery in London and The Museum of Modern Art in New York.
His work also explored his love of his partner Judith who sadly died in 2023 and appeared in many of his paintings. He was known as a generous and humourful man who was deeply committed to his pupils, fellow artists and his many friends.
