Gill Tyson
Gill Tyson specialises in lithography, a printmaking process that combines direct and expressive mark making with deliberate and aforethought building of layers. In cool, atmospheric colours the artist explores remote landscapes. Her ever-present brushstrokes indicate a distilled image; an abstracted world that only hints at a human presence. Printmaking has been her primary form of expression throughout her career; its balance of process, control and unpredictability informing her work.
BIOGRAPHY
