The Story
Size:41 x 53 in.
Tim Fowler’s Garden Croton, measuring 36" x 48", is a striking and exuberant celebration of nature, reimagined through the artist’s signature palette of electric hues. The painting pulsates with vivid pinks, fiery oranges, intense yellows and lush greens, offset against deep blues and purples that evoke both tropical heat and vibrant energy. The large-scale canvas bursts with oversized, stylised croton leaves, their shapes defined by expressive brushwork and bold colour contrasts. Fowler’s dynamic layering of opaque and translucent pigment brings a sense of movement and life, while abstract background elements hint at light filtering through dense foliage.
Fowler’s fascination with botanical subjects stems from his exploration of his Caribbean heritage and the cultural symbolism of tropical plants. Influenced by his early love of Basquiat’s free-form expressionism, his work combines oil, acrylic, spray, enamel, and graffiti inks in a physically demanding process. His intuitive approach adds a raw, tactile quality, where broad strokes, drips, and scrapes reveal the artist’s energy and emotion.
Garden Croton exemplifies Fowler’s ability to balance representation with abstraction, inviting the viewer to engage with both the form and the vibrant essence of his subject. His work is widely collected and recognised for its compelling combination of contemporary urban edge and rich natural inspiration.
