Fractal Artist
Fractal ArtistExhibitions, Press & Recognition
A running record of where my fractal art has been shown, written about, and put to work — from a 2026 t-shirt collaboration in New York back to a touring museum exhibition in the 90s.
This page gathers the exhibitions, press coverage, industry commissions and accolades that back up the story told on the rest of this site, newest first — a running record rather than a one-off page, updated as new things happen.
Classic Kicks × Tim Waters
In March 2026 I was approached by Classic Kicks, a sneaker and streetwear boutique that's been part of New York's NoHo/East Village scene since 2003 — known for its vintage-shoe-ad-lined store and a mix of mainstream and hard-to-find sneaker brands. They'd noticed the ongoing interest in vintage fractal t-shirts from the 90s, many of which I originally designed, and got in touch wanting to re-issue a range of them.
We worked together to document the backstory of one of the original images — the piece I still know as Turbulent Dynamo, first created in 1993 and covered in more depth on The Story Behind a Popular 90s Fractal — and I helped put together media for their Instagram launch campaign. The original t-shirt has been recreated using the same computer formula from 1993, alongside a new "museum-style" 2026 Fractal Geometry version, styled after the scientific and computer-expo look of the early 90s.
Anything Fractal Group Cover
My fractal flower artwork was used as the cover render for Anything Fractal, a public Facebook group that's grown to over 47,300 members. The group's admin credited the piece directly in the post announcing it: "group banner render made by Tim Waters Fractal Art."
PwC Fractal Wall Art Commission
While working as a software developer at PwC in their Knowledge Management department, I was commissioned to create fractal wall art for their Manchester office — generated using fractal software I'd written myself, combined with photographs I'd taken at Kew Gardens. See the PwC Fractal Wall Art Commission for the full set.
The Art of Chaos Exhibition & Press Coverage
In the mid-90s, as galleries and museums took a real interest in Chaos theory and fractal geometry, my touring exhibition The Art of Chaos showed a selection of my computer-generated fractal art across the UK — large-format prints on A1 photographic paper in A0 frames, each with explanatory text alongside it.
- Derby Industrial Museum, Derby — 18 July to 18 September 1994
- Market Hall Museum, Warwick — 11 February to 25 March 1995, publicised by a Warwickshire Council press release
- Stantonbury Campus Gallery and the Long Lounge, Milton Keynes — 1994
Alongside the exhibition itself, I had the chance to talk about the work on regional news programmes and radio — 1995 was, in a lot of ways, the peak of the fractal art movement for me. Local and regional press covered both the exhibition and the wider fractal poster/postcard range as it grew:
