Kim Storage Gallery is pleased to announce, “Stay the Course,” a solo exhibition by Chicago-based artist Tim Anderson, on view from August 22 through September 27, 2025. The opening reception will be held on Friday, August 22 from 5 to 8 p.m.

Drawing from a life rooted in the Midwest and a career steeped in the traditions of oil painting, Anderson’s latest body of work explores the enduring idiom “Stay the Course”—a nautical phrase that evokes persistence, resilience, and steadfast direction. These works are not literal depictions, but visual meditations on history, navigation, portraiture, and endurance.

Tim Anderson’s paintings serve as “signposts and signals,” reflecting a personal and historical journey through adversity and purpose. Inspired by language, classical references, and wartime perseverance, Anderson’s work continues his commitment to painting as a method of disciplined exploration. As he writes, “I need the research as much as I may need the act of painting. I need resilience, determination, and most of all, focus.”

Join us for an evocative exhibition that reaffirms Anderson’s belief in oil painting as a lifelong artistic path—one that, like its title, stays the course.

Opening Reception: Friday, August 22 from 5 to 8 p.m.
