Artwork Description

“This painting summarises the plight of the coastal forests of Callala Bay, undermined by sea rise. We see the toppled Banksia clutching the sun, trunk undercut by the tides. A rose-amber eye casts the vision, even as shaken leaves fly. The luminous eye sees back to origins, perhaps to calamities of old, making a stream of clear water flow, only to be swallowed by the sea again. Is it simply the cycle of life? - symbolised by the diamond poised between the sun and the cloud? It seems that wisdom will not prevail, cannot lift the tree back into the forest”

This vibrant piece embraces the lively essence of fauvism, melded with semi-abstract forms and a touch of surrealism to evoke an emotive dialogue with the observer. The bold, dreamlike swirls and organic shapes dance over the canvas, inviting a plunge into the realm of spirited color and movement. This artwork will inspire and energize any space, infusing it with visual poetry and a lingering sense of wonder - ArtsightAI

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".
