Drawn from Tim Burton's personal annal and representing the artist'due south creative output from childhood to the nowadays twenty-four hours, this exhibition of 500 drawings, paintings, photographs, sketchbooks, moving-epitome works, and sculptural installations focuses on the recurrent visual themes and motifs that resonate in the distinctive characters and worlds constitute in Burton'south art and films.

While Tim Burton had been previously known about exclusively for his cinematic work, includingBeetlejuice (1988),Batman (1989),Edward Scissorhands (1990),Tim Burton'south The Nightmare Earlier Christmas (1993),Ed Wood(1994), Large Fish (2003),Corpse Helpmate (2005), andSweeney Todd (2007), the international exhibition of Burton's fine art displays the full range of his artistic production, revealing a versatile creative person whose unique vision transcends mediums and formats.

The exhibition reveals an inimitable fashion that is informed by Burton'south specific perspective. His amalgamations of man, fauna, and car are evocative of an artistically-inclined Dr. Frankenstein with an unfettered imagination. The interplay between horror and humour figures prominently in Burton's art and films and this theme of the "carnivalesque"—the mixture betwixt one-act and the grotesque—is seen in projects fromBatman toAlice in Wonderland (2010). Maybe his about notable and well-known motif, the soulful melancholy of Burton's iconic misunderstood outsiders—from Edward Scissorhands and Jack Skellington to the Corpse Bride and Frankenweenie—is deftly expressed in the drawings featured in the exhibition.

Timothy Walter Burton (b. 1958) grew up in Burbank, California, a homogenous suburban American neighborhood that compelled Burton to find respite and escape from its blandness. Guided by the movies on television set, comics in the newspapers, myths and fables told in school, and other forms of popular culture as well as the holiday seasons (when houses and lawns in his neighborhood were decorated with festive trappings), Burton incorporated these lifelong influences into his art at an early historic period. His childhood sketches demonstrate Burton'southward range and telephone call to mind the piece of work of his predecessors, including classic cartoonists and illustrators such as Edward Gorey, Charles Addams, Don Martin, and Theodore Geisel. The impact of Japanese monster movies, Expressionist Cinema, Universal Studios' horror itemize, and suspense maestros William Castle and Vincent Toll also permeate Burton's work.

Comprised of works from his signature films and projects includingThe Nightmare Before Christmas andThe Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories (1997) to never-before-exhibited artworks,The Earth of Tim Burton is a deeply engaging experience that gives the public admission to the artist's very personal and singular output.

"The World of Tim Burton" is organized by independent curator Jenny He in collaboration with Tim Burton Productions.
