Snow Water and Flowers. Since his emergence as an artist in Australia during the 1980s, Tim Maguire has worked in various ways to convey a refreshing philosophical scepticism. Earlier paintings and prints featured monuments dissolving into their own reflections, vast landscapes blurring into mirage, often a use of trompe loeil to undermine itself in works of art where illusionism met transparency, until finally there were the 'flower paintings', in the 1990s, when arguably Maguire hit his stride. These still-lifes provided an aesthetic means for the celebration of beauty and an acknowledgement of inevitable corruption and relativity.
