Who Is Tim Wakefield?
Tim Wakefield is a digital artist who has become a household name among musicians and art enthusiasts alike. Raised in England during the 1970s, Tim took inspiration from the musical prowess of artists such as The Clash and The Stranglers during his teenage years.
Though he would later relocate to the United States, it’s here in places such as Nashville, Lafayette, Mississippi, and later Austin, Texas, that he would establish a new taste in music that would help to push his taste for music to new heights and further cement his influence in the art and music industry.
Tim has worked with dozens of well-known musicians and bands throughout his life, including Dolly Parton and The Killers, who are only a few to mention. Apart from being shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the biggest and most talented musicians of our modern history, Tim is the founder and artist of Soundwaves Art, an artistic movement that has captivated millions of viewers over the years and is now a well-known art foundation that creates unique artworks through a multimedia process.
What Type Of Art Is Soundwave Art?
Throughout his career, Tim Wakefield Art has established a unique and somewhat outlandish approach to creating album cover art that perfectly captures the dimension of music and his talents.
In its own right, soundwave art is an abstract approach that uses a multimedia process to customise recorded sound waves. The result is a colourful, yet entangling melange of soundwaves harmoniously blended that is closely related to his perception of the music and sequence of each song.
Over the years, Tim has brought a “face” or visual appearance to some of the biggest and most listened-to songs in the world. His work has helped to inspire him to establish the Soundwaves Art Foundation and Charity, which has to date sold thousands of Soundwaves art prints in more than 91 countries and raised over £6 million for a handful of charities.
What Type Of Music Is Used For Soundwave Art?
Tim uses a unique approach to his work, ensuring that each piece is unique and carefully represents the characteristics of the music. The finished product is a beautiful design that captivates the senses and is both abstract and contemporary in its own form.
Artists used for these signed art prints include Mama Mia, Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd, the Black Keys, and Duran Durn, along with Lily Allen and James Blunt. In the St Paul’s collection, signed soundwave art prints include a fine art print by the Swedish music legend, ABBA, and a piece signed by Jon Bon Jovi, guitarists Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Tico Torres.
Each recording is chosen by Tim and then digitally added and enhanced; each small detail is used to create a more visual canvas that imitates the sound waves of songs. The use of various colours and intricate design patterns helps to blend the piece together and create a harmonious pattern.
Why Is Tim Wakefield’s Soundwaves Art Important?
As with any artist and art movement, soundwaves art is a sub-genre of multimedia and printing that separates itself from traditional art forms and instead uses a collaborative approach with one of the most popular industries in the world.
For many people, soundwave art is a collection of visual harmonies that highlights the essence of music and the process that goes into writing, recording and perfecting each lyric before being released to the public.
The advent of technology and digital applications has helped strengthen the human connection to the music industry in a way that was once thought to be unimaginable. Abstract soundwave art has taken a unique approach to deliver a canvas of sound and colour that attracts not only collectors but also fans and listeners from across the world.
Is Tim Wakefield Still Creating New Artwork?
As an established artist, Tim continues his passion for creating soundwave art. He has built a collection of pieces that are now featured in galleries, homes, recording studios and offices around the world.
For Tim, the process of creating these artworks has become easier over the years as new digital applications came to life, enabling him to frequently experiment and apply more liberal techniques.
Today, Tim continues this drive by partnering with musicians and bands to help create something magical that brings a colourful life to their melodies. More importantly, Tim’s work in art has helped him pursue a journey in philanthropy, and over the years, he, along with the Soundwaves Art Foundation, has partnered with several charities and non-profit organisations.
Soundwaves Art For Collectors
The intersection of art and music has created a new sub-genre of collectors around the world. Though the majority of the pieces made by Tim and his team are either sold as limited editions, signed prints or copies thereof, his work has established a new theme among collectors both in the primary and secondary sales market.
Collectors have the option to choose from limited edition signed prints that have been carefully selected by the curators from St Paul’s Gallery. These artworks are not unique, but they tell a whole story, something modern art often lacks.
These are all important considerations for collectors, and the team at St Paul’s can help collectors uncover a variety of soundwave art prints.
As Tim Wakefield’s artworks find themselves on gallery walls and homes around the world, collectors will continue to seek out some of the most unique soundwave artworks available and further help cement this genre of art and music in the history books.
