Duval Timothy is an artist who works and lives in London.

Born 1989 London, UK.

Studied at Central St Martins/ Beaux Arts Paris ENSBA/ Chelsea College of Art & Design.

My artwork focuses on mobilising or activating objects and colour through the use of structures, games, performances and installations. I am useing a strong visual language to discuss identity, social and geographical issues and environments. In many of my works friends and participants are wearing, transporting or performing with an object or structure I have created.

Co-founder and co-director of THE GROUNDNUT along with friends Folayemi Brown and Jacob Todd. The Groundnut is a part-time restaurant and food project. The food draws inspiration from our collective heritage from: England, Ghana, Nigeria, Sierra Leone & South-Sudan.
