For the past year, I have been working with the 14th Factory, a non profit art exhibition and I am very happy to share with you we are opening on Wall Street on April 29th.

We have also just launched a Kickstarter campaign further our mission -- to create large-scale public art and cultural experiences, that are meaningfully accessible to people across all ages, backgrounds, and demographics. We already have the exhibition built, and an education program created in partnership with Center for Arts Education to engage kids from every neighborhood in NYC, but with your help, we can do so much more. Please read more about it here:

Every dollar you contribute will help us come closer to our goal to creating the best experience possible for kids who come to the show. If you can’t contribute to us personally, it would mean a lot to us if you could share our Kickstarter on your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram!

Thank you and hope to see you at the show!"

Help us bring about an educational interactive art space for New York City students at the 14th Factory, opening in April 2016.

Space Madness

New Paintings by Tim Biskup

August 27th - September 27th, 2015 (by appointment only)

Opening Reception: Thursday, August 27th, 6-9pm (artist in attendance)

RSVP: [email protected]

KONG Art Space, G/F, No. 3 Staunton Street, Central, Hong Kong

Kong Art Space is pleased to present "Space Madness", an exhibition of new paintings by Tim Biskup. This is his first exhibition in Hong Kong.

Tim Biskup is a painter from California. He was born in 1967 in Los Angeles where he lives and works today. His interest in art took hold on a family trip to the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris when he was a teenager where he was introduced to the work of artists like Jean Dubuffet, Arshile Gorky and Roberto Matta. He attended art school at Otis/Parsons in the mid-80s but found himself at odds with the intellectual process of art making. His most substantial artistic education took place during his six years working in the animation industry. Beginning in 1998 Biskup hosted a series of guerrilla style art auctions in bars around Los Angeles which caught the attention of gallerists and launched his career as a fine artist. In the following years his work has been shown in museums and galleries throughout the world, including Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Milan, Tokyo, Barcelona and Copenhagen. His interest in creating limited edition objects and prints has garnered him a massive following of avid collectors. At one point he opened a record store and gallery to showcase his output of music, vinyl figures, books and prints. In recent years he has concentrated mainly on painting.

With his newest series of paintings Biskup has come back to his roots. The work is bold, colorful, cartoony and emotive. He’s always felt a sort of spiritual connection to the work of Roberto Matta which is clearly a touchpoint in this collection. The stylistic similarities are there, but also a deep belief in the relevance of Jungian symbolism and incorporation of the surrealist philosophy of automatic composition. Like Matta, Biskup believes that these paintings are biomorphic representations of the artists psyche. What Matta called “Inscapes”. Another link to the artist’s past is the title of the exhibition, “Space Madness”. It's a tip of the hat to Ren & Stimpy, an animated TV show that was instrumental in luring Biskup into the world of cartoon making.
