About the Item
Lacquer on Aluminum.
Tilman started to create the series ‘HOCs’ in 2006. These works vary in dimensions.
Recognizing the architectural potential of the ‘Stacks’ series, Tilman developed the underlying idea further, which resulted in the works titled ‘HOC/House of Color’.
These painted objects almost resemble modernist buildings – just on a smaller scale - opening up spaces to explore the ephemeral quality of light within a given spatiality. They can be seen as a ‘marriage’ between architecture and light.
‘HOCs’ are generally composed of hand-painted aluminum profiles. They can be experienced either hanging on the wall or being set on a table or plinth.
Born in Munich, Germany, Tilman is an abstract artist and curator. His work includes paintings, built environments, and stacked and layered wall and floor-based objects. He is a founder and current curatorial advisor of Dolceacqua Arte Contemporanea (d.a.c.) in Dolceacqua, Italy, and was a founder and former Chief Curator of the Center for Contemporary Non-Objective Art (CCNOA) in Brussels, Belgium. Tilman lives and works in New York City and Dolceacqua, Italy.
Tilman is inspired by the traditions of Concrete Art and Minimalism. The objects he creates use form and color to interpret light and space, engaging the curiosity of viewers. As an active participant in his visual surroundings, his natural curiosity leads him to notice forms, compositions, colors and other sensory impressions occupying public spaces.
These concrete elements of the common visual world then take on a new, non-objective presence in his mind. He later interprets these found visual elements into made concrete objects through a reductive process, eliminating what is not necessary and allowing the essence of his findings to manifest anew.
Artworks by Tilman are included in numerous private and institutional collections, including those of Deutsche Bank, Pfizer, Teachers Insurance, The New York Public Library and the Musée d’art Moderne, Neuchâtel, Switzerland.
