Tim Goffe’s work captures an urban realism that is both intimate and expansive.
He is known for focusing on often-overlooked scenes like empty laundromats, closed petrol stations, and urban life, using these spaces to explore a unique narrative depth. His paintings often carry a sense of stillness and contemplation, created through his blend of meticulous detail and expressive brushwork. Goffe’s recent works, such as those displayed at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, continue his exploration of his environment, further emphasising his thematic interest in the “forgotten” spaces of urban life. Through his paintings, he invites viewers to find beauty and meaning in spaces that might otherwise be dismissed as ordinary.
