Larry Tillyer

May 1 - 31, 2024

The Federation Gallery's May Artist Window Feature is Larry Tillyer. "My interest as an artist has always been colour, light and emotion. Impressionism is my favorite style of painting and I like specifically the way they handled colour and the way they understood and ex­plained light. Vincent Van Gogh, Henri Ma­tisse, Sorolla, Monet, Renoir and Sargent have all had an influence on my art. My pic­ture "Two by the Sea" makes the use of light to show the joy of the children at the beach. Also the sea is very much in keep­ing with impressionist brush strokes and creativity as painting is a unique creation of art:' Larry Tillyer may have passed away recent­ly, yet his artistic legacy lives on through the heartfelt dedication of his wife, Merete, who generously shares his cher­ished paintings and talent with the FCA.
