Nestled in the shabby-chic surroundings of the East End\u2019s artistic hub, Redchurch Street, painter Tim Silversides<\/a> debuted his latest exhibition at The Outside World Gallery over the Bank Holiday weekend. Entitled Limbo, the exhibition is a brave and honest exploration of Silversides\u2019 own experience of depression, with echoes of loneliness and despair emanating from the gallery walls. While many of the paintings and drawings on show are borne of his imagination, Silversides has also used sketches from his time working with sufferers of senile dementia to imbue his work with a sense of solitude and isolation. Figures with contorted limbs and tortured facial expressions haunt his work, and reflect Silversides\u2019 fascination with externalising inner torment. Wonderland<\/em> caught up with him at the opening night of Limbo to discuss inspiration, depression and Bacon. Francis Bacon, that is. <\/p>\n
