'Voices'

This exuberant work hovers at the edge of figuration – the indeterminate, fluid state between figuration and abstraction. Fluid serpentine curves and recital of colours create a visual cadence of rising and falling notes. Biomorphic shapes evolve out of the rolling curves and jewel-toned hues suggest dense light filtered through forest foliage and refracted off water.

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".
