An Interview with Lauren Tilden.
Who and where are you from?
My name is Lauren Tilden. I am from New Jersey. I studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and the University of Delaware. My work is represented by Haynes Galleries in Tennessee and Maine, and F.A.N. Gallery in Philadelphia, PA.
How you got into this?
My parents are both artists and from an early age I was surrounded by art and weekly trips to the art museum. As a child I loved to draw and always knew painting was what I was designed to do. I was greatly influenced by the work of Wyeth and Eakins.
What is your driving force?
My awe at the created world and a search for the Creator.
What kind of work you do and why?
I am a figurative artist working primarily in oil on panel. But occasionally I will do egg tempera painting. I paint portraits and figures in the landscape. Both the human figure and the sublime landscape are the vehicles I use for exploring the tension between the corporeal and spiritual; the place where God reaches his hand to Adam. My paintings prioritize the depiction of light which creates the illusion of three dimensional form. This foundation allows for exploration in narratives surrounding the concept of man¹s relationship to God.Together my paintings depict the tension between devastation and the possibility of renewal.
