Originally trained as a muralist, Tim Portlock began experimenting with digital media platforms in the late '90s. He has since mastered a variety of tools, from gaming software to 3-D animation, and he has used them to make art that investigates the social and economic impact of America's rapid de-industrialization. A former professor at Hunter College in New York, Portlock is now a Professor at Washington University in St. Louis. His work has been shown around the world, including solo and group exhibitions at the Tate Modern, London; Los Angeles Center for Digital Art; the Ars Electronica Museum, Linz, Austria; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, IL. Portlock is a Pew Fellow and is represented by Locks Gallery in Philadelphia. He has no fewer than three shows on view this spring in Philadelphia so there are many opportunities to see his work. He has a solo show on view at Locks Gallery and is featured in “Through the Lens: Modern Photography in the Delaware Valley” at the Michener Museum and in “New Grit: Art & Philly Now" at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
