5 months in the making… “[Outside] In: Echoes of Our Primal Lands” is finally showing at the White Gallery at Icon Centre in the Upper Moutere, from Feb 7th to March 3, 2015. A series of metal and wood wall works, along with additional free-standing pieces, act as abstracted reflections of our native landscapes and surroundings.

A couple of  new sculptural works have recently been delivered to the Icon Gallery near Nelson NZ, as well as some recent sales to international collectors, with Jason’s works now in private collections as far ranging as the UK and the USA! Also, the Tillman Studios website has been updated with the Sculpture galleries now separated into “Wall Sculpture” and “Standing Sculpture”, as there were too many to all fit into one category. So have a look to find the new works, here are just a couple of the recent additions…

New representation at the Icon Gallery

Posted by on Apr 20, 2013 in Uncategorized | Comments Off on New representation at the Icon Gallery

I’m proud to announce that I’ve recently begun to show work at the new Icon Gallery and sculpture park in the beautiful Upper Moutere area near Nelson, NZ. Artist and visionary Neville Parker opened the Icon Centre for the Arts in the last year or so, and is steadily expanding the sprawling property to include working artist’s studios, new gallery space, and more outdoor display areas. It sounds like Neville has had tremendous success in the last year bringing in visitors from around the world, and sales and interest have exceeded expectations. Let’s hope it’s the start of something big. Come visit the gallery at 1280 Moutere Highway, open every day except Monday. Cheers Neville!

Jason’s work in “Homestyle NZ” magazine!

Posted by on Apr 20, 2013 in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Jason’s work in “Homestyle NZ” magazine!

  In the August/September 2012 issue of “Homestyle” magazine, the sculpture “Knots” was included in a feature spread of the Nelson house of clients Ned and Mina Smith, whose beautiful remodel overlooking the water is a perfect setting for the work. A mention of the piece is included on page 103: “Over the fire is an artwork called “Knots” by local sculptor Jason Hale Tillman, bought from the Refinery Gallery. It’s made of rusted metal with rope twisted into tree-like knots. “The beach has high  and low tides and you get ripples in the sand. It reminded us of that” says Mina.”

Art Expo Nelson

Posted by on Jul 23, 2012 in Uncategorized | Comments Off on Art Expo Nelson

The first annual Art Expo Nelson was a huge success!  Both for the organizers and for many of the 98 represented South Island artists involved… including myself. I sold a good number of works, and met heaps of great folks over the weekend- Gallerists, clients, “old” friends, and hopefully new ones. The stats aren’t in yet, but I would guess at least 2500 people walked through the doors over the weekend.

I even got a little mention in the Nelson Mail, in the run-up to the opening…check it out (without photo…)

I’ve just recently doubled my workshop space, and moved it to the beach! We’ve made the move to Rarangi Beach, here in N.E. Marlborough, overlooking Cloudy Bay and with a clear view of the North Island. Let me know if you’re in the area, and drop by for a cuppa!
