Leon Tillman

Fine Artist | Curator | Instructor

I consider my work unrestricted because of the various ideas obtained from dreams and the diversity witnessed every day I walk down a New York street. I am motivated by color and sound, preferably working with noise and people around to feed my decisions on shade and value. Loving all things and people of this world, I believe one should produce beauty by any means necessary when given the gift to create.

The materials I choose facilitate my artistic drive and allow me to provoke the minds of the audience by showing skills possessed in many different mediums. With every finished work there is a dialogue created with the viewer; whether it’s a pair of lips drawn with chalk pastel regarding sensuality or a clay sculpture depicting social, political and/ religious injustices.

When someone marvels at the colors I use or stops to ponder what is trying to be said in a piece, I feel accomplished and hope that my art has reached another individual positively; through love, peace and art.
