About TILLIAN

Tillian lives and works in Bundanoon, a highland village bordering the deep gorges of the Morton National Park. He studied painting, film and photography at Alexander Mackie Art School, Sydney, and more recently completed a Master of Creative Arts Degree at Wollongong University. He has had five solo exhibitions and has participated in numerous group shows.

Influenced by Indian ritual art, Aboriginal desert painting and Western art traditions Tillian’s acrylic landscapes are visual narratives tracing passages in cyclic time and space. Works are constructed on site during sessions of immersion in the 'happening of place'. The inscrutable architecture of nature, arranged in leaf, rock and cloud transform into a numinous ground of embedded glyphs intuited and transcribed during the act of painting.
