Artist Statement:
Lee Tiller lives amidst the
mountains of the Macgillicuddy
Reeks on the Iveragh
peninsula, County Kerry,
Ireland. His studio, "the
yellow house" adjacent to his
home, is an old converted byre
that overlooks a deep glacial
valley.
"I draw immense inspiration
from this place. Its feral
untamed beauty provides
endless contrasts to our
otherwise orderly state of
human existence. The natural
majesty of the mountains and
the dramatic landscape often
leave an unsettled air of
intimidation, but can
conversely serenade you with a
calming gentleness too. It is
a magical place indeed."
Tiller's paintings are
collected worldwide and can be
found in private collections
in both hemispheres. Painting
in oils, alkyds and acrylics,
his artistic works cover a
diverse range of natural
history subjects from marine
wildlife through to 'fugitive
abstractions' and wild
chromatic landscapes.
Tiller feels a strong
connection with the 19th
century impressionist
movement, believing that
impressionism was and
continues to be the pinnacle
of all art movements.
Ironically, given his
photographic creative talent,
he believes that the advent of
the camera led to a gradual
disintegration of art
resulting in artists painting
in a two-dimensional context,
rather than exploring light
and its dynamic visual effects
