Tim Gatenby was born in the United Kingdom in 1987. Gatenby's work uses classical painting techniques to subvert pop cultural icons. Often combining deconstructed cartoon characters with dark humor, his images reflect the pressures of consumerism and modern societal tendency towards overindulgence. His exhibitions include: "Re-animated" (Guy Hepner, New York, 2021), "Sorry, not sorry." (Plan X Gallery, Milano, 2021), "Nice Day Out" (Waluso Gallery, London, 2020), etc.
