Tim Gore

For more than thirty years, Tim Gore (also known as Tim Larsen) had been a presence in the Special Effects industry for film and television. His work and experience had innovated the techniques, workflow, and style of many well-known projects and creature creations.

His credits include The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, The Chronicles of Riddick, Van Helsing, The Passion of the Christ, Blade II, Kull the Conqueror, X-Men: The Last Stand, Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, Pacific Rim, and Hellboy 1 and 2. He also worked successfully in the toy design and prototyping fields.

His visionary and often nightmarish personal art—hand-sculpted, molded and painted—was an extension of his experience in the business. Each original fine art piece was a vision informed by Tim’s hyper-realistic techniques honed during his long career creating creatures for film, television and ancillary industries.

More than just paintings or sculptures, Tim’s art spoke to hidden horrors, a mix of the mundane and macabre that had made Tim a celebrity in the world of lowbrow art. Tim’s work had been shown in galleries specializing in such “dark” art, including the Copro-Nasson Gallery, The Hyaena Gallery and Gallery Nucleus.

One of Tim’s artistic expressions was the development of his own airbrush acrylic paint line from Createx Colors, called Tim Gore's Bloodline™. This line of airbrush colors, specifically created by Tim, includes colors designed for the subtleties of painting everything from hyper-real creatures, humanoids and monsters, to latex masks, resin kits and beyond the limits of any artist’s imagination.

Though Tim was justifiably proud of his work painting iconic dinosaurs for Steven Spielberg and Stan Winston in Jurassic Park II, his favorite and most proud movie moment was his Hellboy cameo where he utters the famous line, “Hey. You Hellboy?...You ugly, man.”
