William Tillyer - Fortieth Anniversary Print Collection
2 – 20 March 2010
We are delighted to be one of the first galleries to exhibit William Tillyer Fortieth Anniversary Print Collection.
2010 marks the fortieth anniversary of the day that William Tillyer walked into Bernard Jacobson’s newly opened print gallery in Mount Street with a portfolio of his prints under one arm. It proved to be an event of great significance in the lives of both men - marking the beginning of an uninterrupted forty-year working relationship - and to commemorate the occasion Bernard Jacobson Graphics is proud to announce the publication of a new series of Limited Edition Digital Prints.
Featuring twelve of Tillyer’s most striking landscape images from across the last thirty years, the editions will highlight the breadth and subtlety of Tillyer’s vision – confirming his position as one of the leading figures of British Contemporary landscape painting.
Utilising the most advanced digital technologies to capture the nuance and intrigue of Tillyer’s touch, the series offers a unique opportunity to own a work by one of the country’s finest painters.
William Tillyer's work has been shown frequently in London and New York since 1970. Admired by fellow artists and collectors, it has mystified critics, even those eager to praise him. Why does his work keep changing? Why does each new phase seem to contradict and undermine the last? Why doesn't he establish a brand image and stick by it?
Much of his art is about the beauty of the world, of landscapes, still life and buildings; it can also be sublimely beautiful in its use of colour, brushstrokes and pictorial constructions, or dramatic in its size and contrasts. His thoughts are about how art communicates as much as what.
William Tillyer was born in 1938 in Middlesbrough, northern England. Trained in printmaking, Tillyer has evolved into an astonishingly diverse and talented artist. His work encompasses everything from prints to collages to watercolours to oil paintings to mixed-media constructions. Today he is one of Britain's most respected artists, with a still-growing reputation.
