Michael Earll‘s portrait of musician Tim Burgess celebrates his twitter listening parties, which bring people together online to enjoy and discover music.
Earll shows Tim Burgess holding a copy of his own record “Oh No I Love You” in front of his face – the green shapes on the sleeve echoed in the house plant behind him. A phone displaying a twitter feed sits in the foreground – representing connection despite the lone subject.
Burgess’ grey figure contrasts with the vibrant and inviting background, which shows detailed album covers against a sky blue wall.
Michael’s Tim Burgess portrait is in our current exhibition Our 100 Portraits, free to visit in our gallery until 9 October 2021.
