The Line – Limited Edition by Pete Tillack
Artist Statement
"With new growth comes fear, but also freedoms.
Light passes thru the concrete caverns, constantly moving the sidewalk silhouettes.
The higher we reach, the more things look different—but is there a limit, and if so, is it self-imposed or natural?
As brief as life is, it was never meant to be stagnant. It is full of evolution, and this may answer the question to be part of ‘what is the meaning.’
The scenery always changes as we move forward, whether you’re the passenger or the driver. There will always be a loss due to progress—the ironsmith, the milkman, or the elevator operator. There is no blossom without blood.
You have to find, or even design, your place, because there are times that someone has moved the cheese… even the smallest of things can make a great impact. Sometimes you realize that the mouse was actually the lion."
— Pete Tillack

About the Artist – Pete Tillack
Pete Tillack is an Australian-born artist celebrated for his unique style of Philosophical Symbolism. His paintings often feature animals and objects placed in unexpected settings—lions on sofas, wolves in cathedrals, or foxes in wingback chairs—each chosen to symbolize deeper meanings about society, progress, and human experience.
Self-taught and shaped by a decade of global travel, Tillack draws from his encounters across cultures and landscapes. His use of strong contrasts, monochromatic palettes, and symbolic storytelling invites viewers to reflect on their own journey, choices, and the forces shaping their lives.
