Description
Harry Charles Tim Neo-Expressionist Painting ‘Proud’ from the 'Longhead' Series, 2026
This commanding and remarkably striking 2026 portrait is a powerful example of contemporary Neo-Expressionism by the celebrated British artist Harry Charles Tim. Entitled ‘Proud’, the painting is a vital and deeply resonant inclusion in the artist’s highly sought-after 'Longhead' series.
The 'Longhead' works are celebrated for their cerebral and evocative exploration of the human form, utilising a distinct, stylized elongation of the head and neck. This anatomical distortion functions as a sophisticated nod to Modigliani’s melancholic modernism, infused with the raw emotional gravity of mid-century European expressionism.
In 'Proud', the subject’s defiant, upward tilt of the chin perfectly embodies the painting's title, presenting an image of quiet resilience and dignity. Set against Harry's characteristic velvet-black negative space, the face is brilliantly illuminated by a complex, layered palette of sulfurous yellows, earthy ochres, and cool sculptural undertones, punctuated by an intense, arresting application of crimson to the lips. The fast-drying properties of the acrylic medium allow for extraordinarily crisp, hard-edged geometric divisions, balanced beautifully by areas of heavy, visceral brushwork that give the surface an incredible tactile and energetic presence.

Dealer’s Comments
"There is a magnificent, monumental presence to 'Proud' that made it an instant talking point at the Battersea Decorative Fair. Within the context of the 'Longhead' series, this painting stands out because of its incredible emotional posture—the elongation of the neck doesn't convey sorrow here, but rather a fierce, quiet nobility. The contrast between the brilliant, almost acidic yellow skin tones and the profound black void is incredibly sharp, a testament to Tim's mastery of the acrylic medium. With his international profile rising rapidly and collectors actively competing for pieces from this specific series, 'Proud' represents a quintessential investment work from his definitive 2026 output."
