In My View “I want people to see or notice the poetry in the small moment,” Timothy Horn says, “where the faded turquoise paint and the rust and the sparkle on the chrome all come together.”

Timothy Horn composes moments of reflection, luminous and layered.

Unexpected in context, his view captures spontaneous beauty: the glide of shadows across building facades; the textural meeting of the rising moon and setting sun. Such attunement channels his affinity for modern painters such as photorealist Robert Bechtle, who confidently included the quotidian in his compositions, and who anchored his perspective in the same place as Horn: the character-rich contours of Northern California.

When people take the time, they see more subtlety in his scenes—a pay-off that is both intimate and revelatory. By his skilled hand, the sheen of an Airstream reveals both the richness of the surface and the presence of a person—his person. In a recent turn, he has started painting himself into his

work. For years, he took photos of vintage vehicles, personally intrigued yet hesitant to translate them on canvas. Only when he realized upon closer examination that such frames captured several iterations of his own reflection did he decide to explore their affects in paint.

At Altamira, a VW bus fractals his silhouette three times: his cast shadow, and his faint reflections in the door and then again in the hubcap. In such scenarios, the sun becomes his accomplice as he carefully positions himself, rays at his back. As such, these works exude individuality as scenes only he notices. “I’m trying to tap into the core of my being that is different from anybody else’s,” Horn says. “That’s the case with these close-cropping reflections: they’re experimental and personal. I’m trying to see more of what I find interesting.”
