Hugo Tillman Art
British, b. 1973
Hugo Tillman is a British artist known for his eccentric photographs directed by dreams, magic, and mundane reality. With uncanny scenes that are both carefully crafted and spontaneous moments of everyday life, Tillman strives to communicate through metaphors and visual stories. Tillman designs complete projects, beginning with intense research leading to travels abroad in search for the subjects and themes that interest him. This culminates in the production of his photographs, a complex process of staging and composition. For his three main series, Tillman has travelled throughout the world, composing projects that involve social, political, psychological and artistic issues. With Film Stills of the Mind, he spent two years in China interviewing leading Chinese artists. From these conversations, Tillman constructed a full sized stage set of their inner psyche. He then invited the artists to perform a scene within that set and captured the images with a still camera. The pictures work as an examination of not only the artists’ psyche, but of Tillman’s psyche as well. For a period of six days in Cuba, Tillman produced a series of interventions in Havana. The eccentricity and combination of related and unrelated elements in his mise en scènes call to mind the concept of the marvelous, a magnificent interplay between hope and reality. Daydreams of Mine is a celebration of the commonplace and extraordinary idiosyncrasy of the Cuban people. In Tillman’s most recent work, he created a series of black photographs. The catalyst being his great-grandfather Georg Tillmann’s collection of objects, this series highlights various ancient articles found in temples and ethnographic museums throughout the world. The result is a captivating group of minimally illuminated compositions, their definition mysterious. Born in London in 1973, Tillman moved to New York and earned a M.F.A. from Pratt Institute in 2004. His has exhibited at the Guangzhou Museum of Art, China; The Today Art Museum and F2 Gallery, Beijing, China; The Birmingham Art Gallery, England; The National Portrait Gallery, London, England; Elementa Gallery, Dubai; DF2 Gallery, Los Angeles; MoMA P.S.1, New York, among others. Tillman has also participated in a number of international biennales, such as the Guangzhou Photo Biennale (2009), Guandong, China; Shanghai Biennale, Moca (2006), Shanghai, China; and Berlin Biennale (2000), Berlin, Germany. He currently lives and works in London.

Tyler Shields is an American Photographer, screenwriter, director and former professional inline skater who has been labeled by some as “Hollywood’s favorite photographer”. He is best known for his unparalleled, controversial, shock evoking photographs of Hollywood Celebrities.
Shield’s images often incorporate violence and eroticism, such as his 2011 photograph of Lindsay Lohan in which she appears seductive while being covered in blood and holding a knife. Continuing to push the boundaries, in preparation for his Life Is Not A Fairytale (2011) exhibit in 2011, Shields collected blood from twenty celebrities to paint with, onto a canvas. Shields also appeared to stage the “shooting” of a party-goer with a gun the same year at a release party for his book “Collisions” as an appropriated piece of performance art en homage to the cans of Fluxus artist, Piero Manzoni. Shields is not shy to controversy, in 2012 he also released a photograph of Francesca Eastwood, burning, sawing and biting a $100,000 Hermès Birkin Bag for a photoshoot.
Moreover, his series “Suspense” (2013) portrays and depicts stars such as Emma Roberts, Francesca Eastwood and Lydia Hearst frozen in mid-air falling and voluntarily jumping off buildings and bridges creating a sense of movement, adrenaline, and excitement. “Suspense is not about death; it’s about life” explains Shields. Rather than focusing on the person in the frame, these images are more concerned with the action, environment, and landscape. In 2015. Shields created the series “Historical Fiction” which focuses on historical events such as the deaths of James Dean, John F Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King among many more historical events. This series put the American Civil Rights Era at the forefront of his work, as these images explore dark moments in history with many of them honing in on moments that confront the country’s racist past. Furthermore, in 2015 Shields created his hit series “Chromatics” which surrounds the theme of “beauty in chaos” captured through freeze frames of surreal, technicolor violence with colored powder. In order to create this violence, he lined up 20 people up against each other and made them fight with powder.
Shields’ talent goes beyond shock. His unique, sinister and daring lens through which he composes and creates his work enables him to push boundaries and experiment with tweaking the Hollywood mystique. The mystery behind his relationships and habits captivate the media, not unlike the art world’s best-known friend of the famous, Andy Warhol.
