California-based Tim Shockley is a modern conceptual artist whose works reflect both a sincere devotion and respect towards his signature material, bronze, as well as the memorializing of time
in its fleeting impermanence and perpetual relevance to our lives.

Tim’s years of work in a foundry have formed a meticulous craft while his roots, cemented by the sprawling and arid Coachella Valley desert, have provided an endless source of inspiration through
the organic elements found within natural spaces.

Each new piece or series comes to life through a process combining the creative spark with meticulous forethought, and followed through to the final compilation of material and individual voice,
resulting in sculptures, assemblages, and installations whereupon one perceives a glimpse
of a fleeting moment in time, forever captured and made monumental through its presence as a
work of art.
