Credence — Limited Edition Artist Proof Canvas by Pete Tillack

Credence explores the power of belief, the influence of information, and the importance of questioning what we accept as true. Through his characteristic philosophical symbolism, Pete Tillack reflects on trust, manipulation, and the balance between independence and cooperation.

Artist's Statement — Credence

CREDENCE - belief in or acceptance of something as true - 'not is true but as true'..

How certain information is worded, can control what emotion is instilled, or what action is taken by the audience without the understanding of the manipulation.

There are many things we put up on pedestals (plinth) but when such unabated trust is placed on something, this can allow for greed and manipulation for other to benefit, as there is so much information and ways to get it, it has been created into sides instead of facts.

This is not new, but, with the aid of interactive media and lack of self-research, it is to easy to create fear and this can turn into separations of groups that seem to oppose each other.

We were led to believe that the lone wolf is cool, but in actual fact, that wolf has been kicked out of the pack and is usually a scavenger. The average pack size is six and they work as a team, relying on each other in order to survive.

With so much around us, it can flood our own minds and we raise our hands in surrender for what we know or trust, but it is so hard to release what we have worked so hard for that it can be difficult to see other paths, or possibilities and so we subside to blindly follow the flock with hopes that someone amongst them know what they are doing.

Shipping & Delivery

Gallery-wrapped artwork: Generally shipped fully insured via UPS or FedEx with signature required. Larger specialty-framed works may require professional crating or a specialty art carrier.

About checkout shipping estimates: Our website calculates estimated shipping based on the artwork's purchase price rather than its exact dimensions, framing selection, or delivery destination. The amount shown at checkout may therefore differ from the actual shipping cost.

If the checkout estimate is higher than the actual shipping cost, we'll refund the difference. If special shipping arrangements or additional charges are necessary, we'll contact you to review the options before proceeding.

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.
