Pete Tillack at Gallery 1870 for Art Around Napa!

Pete Tillack is a contemporary artist renowned for his emotionally charged and thought-provoking artwork. His pieces often explore themes of humanity, nature, and the interplay between the two.  In his artwork you may find a lion sitting on a sofa, a herd of bulls walking down Wall Street, A fox sitting on a wing backed chair in the woods, a pack of wolves in a cathedral, or an abandoned sofa sitting on the railroad tracks. Tillack's artistry is characterized by its profound exploration of the human experience, often delving into themes of introspection, connection, and the passage of time, capturing moments of raw emotion and inner reflection.

Pete Tillack's life Journey began in the coastal landscapes of Australia, where he, as an electrician turned avid surfer and traveler, discovered an insatiable passion for the waves of the world and along the way adapted his creativity to the canvas. What started as a brief European surfing adventure transformed into a decade-long global exploration that ultimately changed his entire life path.

At the heart of this odyssey lies Tillack's distinctive philosophy. Through his preferred medium of oil, he unveils deeply symbolic scenes that invite viewers to contemplate the essence of home, comfort, and the human experience. The recurring motif of the couch, representing a sanctuary to unwind, reflects his ongoing quest for metaphorical solace in the complexities of life.

Beyond the personal, Tillack's art engages with broader themes such as politics, current events, humanity, and psychology. In his allegorical narratives, he maintains a delicate balance, avoiding explicit political stances and instead offering reflections on the universal human experience that resonate across diverse beliefs and affiliations.

Gallery 1870 in downtown Napa proudly showcases the artwork of Pete Tillack who's unique symbolic work transcends mere visual representation, offering viewers a window into the soul of the artist himself.
