Bird Listening to the Sky

The cool crisp mornings of the highland is spangled with dew. Birds awaken and birdsong spans the wide gullies.

“Beats of their wings fill the air with tremulous shadows
and sleepless thoughts in our minds leave their nests to take flight” Rabindranath Tagore

Green is the colour of life and renewal and the egg motif repeats this theme of fertility.

Tillian lives and works in Bundanoon, a highland village bordering the vast 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 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 landscape paintings are visual narratives tracing passages and patterns in cyclic time and space. Works are constructed on site during lengthy sessions of immersion in the act of painting and the "happening of place".
