About the Item

Call of the Kingfisher [2020] original Oil on stretched canvas Image size: H:61 cm x W:76 cm Complete Size of Unframed Work: H:61 cm x W:76 cm x D:1.8cm Sold Unframed Please note that insitu images are purely an indication of how a piece may look In 'Call of the Kingfisher' Lee Tiller has used a rich and verdant palette of cool green biased colours, ranging from deep greens and shadowy violets to bight yellow-greens. He paints in the same tradition as the original impressionists, painting with an immediacy that recreates the sensation of experiencing a moment in time and place. Hidden with the brushstrokes are myriad colours that often surprise and confound, yet viewed as a whole, form a harmonious effect similar to musical expression. Having developed a reputation for painting the effects of light, Lee’s work has often been mentioned alongside the works of the original French Impressionists, employing broken colour to create beautiful chromatic harmonies. Like Monet and Pisarro, Tiller reveals as much with colour within the shadows as you would expect to find in the full radiance of reflected sunlight. ‘Lee spends many hours wandering the rivers and streams around his home looking for compositions and places of ambience. He says "if you're very lucky you might see a burst of shimmering blue-green as a Kingfisher flashes past, although you're more likely to hear its call". It will make a wonderful and calming centre piece for any room. You can just imagine a Kingfisher watching you from inside this painting. Lee was born in Berkshire in the UK and now lives and paints amidst the mountains of County Kerry in Ireland. His studio, “the yellow house” which is adjacent to his home is an old converted bothy (small traditional barn) that overlooks a glacial valley known locally as ‘The Pocket’. Lee says… “I draw immense inspiration from the West Coast of Ireland. Its untamed beauty provides endless contrasts to our otherwise orderly state of human existence. The natural majesty of the mountains with their dramatic terrain often leave an unsettled air of intimidation, but can conversely serenade you with a calming gentleness too. It is a magical place indeed.” “I have long been inspired by the 19th Century impressionist painters who explored colour in a way that was hitherto unseen. The immediacy of impressionism provides the viewer with their own intimate experience of place and time, and is very much a case of show, but don’t tell. I love that people can interpret my paintings in a personal capacity. “ On more than one occasion Lee’s work has been likened to Monet and Van Gogh, and it’s easy to see where his major influences lie. Lee’s paintings are collected worldwide and can be found in private collections throughout both hemispheres. Painting in oils, his artistic works cover a diverse range of natural history subjects from marine wildlife through to wild chromatic impressionist landscapes.
