About the artists

Tim Bavington

English

b. 1966

Born in London, England, Tim Bavington obtained a BFA from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California in 1990, and, in 1999, an MFA from UNLV, where he was mentored by the lecturer and art critic Dave Hickey. The year after he graduated he held his first two one-man shows, one of them in Texas, the other at Mark Moore Gallery in Los Angeles. His approach to art has not changed significantly over the course of his career: the works are based on pieces of music that appeal to him, and the colors on his canvases – often painted in bright Op Art stripes – have been chosen to represent the twelve-tone chromatic scale. “I was drawn into this area because of the interest in the correlation between color and sound waves,” he said in an interview, “and was intrigued to find that there was a long history ... to be followed ... it’s something that’s been a thread through the history of painting.” In 2012 he unveiled his first public sculpture, Anthem for the Common Man, outside the Smith Center in downtown Las Vegas.

Sush Machida Gaikotsu

Born in Japan, Machida moved to the United States as a teenager to study English at the University of Kansas. He graduated from UNLV with an MFA in 2002. “My paintings come from the heart,” he claimed in a 2014 interview with Cindi Maciolek for Luxury Las Vegas. “I want to make paintings that are good for people. Life is simpler if it’s good.” In other interviews he has said that he hopes his audience will find the work appealing and beautiful. He has drawn attention to the autobiographical aspects of his imagery – his father took him fishing as a child, he says, therefore he likes to paint fish – while critics credit him with a precocious ability to assimilate the pop sensibilities of two different cultures. “Machida often slyly refers to popular Western cultural conceits via ancient Japanese compositional formulas,” wrote Danielle Kelly in the Las Vegas Sun. “Sport fishing photos, for example”
