Embrace the Shadows — Limited Edition Artist Proof Canvas by Pete Tillack

In Embrace the Shadows, a black panther wearing vintage aviator goggles settles into an ornate white chair while an owl looks on. Through an elegant interplay of light and darkness, Pete Tillack explores vulnerability, resilience, and the strength that comes from acknowledging the parts of ourselves we are often tempted to conceal.

Artist's Statement — Embrace the Shadows

“Carl Jung stated that you cannot be completely whole if you deny the darker parts of yourself. Allowing for integration, not elimination. So many times we feel the need to hide behind masks so we don’t show our vulnerabilities, as this can be an uncomfortable but necessary road of transitions in order to achieve a higher level, whether it be emotional, physical or financial. True light will always cast shadows, and these challenges can hide positive and powerful qualities that once embrace, can create an unmatched level of self-awareness and confidence.”

— Pete Tillack

Shipping & Delivery

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

For an accurate shipping quote, please contact Gallery 1870 before checkout, especially for framed or oversized artwork. If the checkout estimate is higher than the actual shipping cost, we'll refund the difference. If an additional charge or special arrangements are necessary, we'll contact you to review the options before proceeding. International shipping is available by quotation.

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.
