Manifesto. To search for stillness and the void¹. Evoke a childlike fear of the woods. To seek objects, people, and places that are faintly hypnotic, with traces of the ominous. Translate into paint for daydreaming, getting lost, and approaching the void². Unsettle quietly, static imagery, stripped of explanation or comfort.

¹the deep hum ²hush amongst trees

Jimmy Hyde works from an archive of found images, film/documentary stills, and his own photographs. He selects material via (sniffer dog) an attraction to what holds the void³, he then draws connections, filters material, and sees what remains. The paintings are evidence: fragments assembled with red string. 
³white noise

​

A self-taught artist, Hyde has exhibited in galleries across London and the United Kingdom. He continues to work as a carpenter, fabricator, and technician for galleries and museums.
