- When, in September 2017, Malcolm Tillis was invited to show his work at the VAN (Visual Art Network of Shropshire, Telford and Wrekin) he announced that, at the age of 90, this would definitely be his last exhibition.
To mark the occasion, the committee of VAN invited him to address them. In this talk Tillis - who had been a professional orchestral musician until he was 30 - explains the similarities he experiences between musical and visual arts. He shows examples of his work from the beginning of his career, demonstrates the transition through to a gradually more minimalist approach and closes by revealing some of his latest works completed in the days immediately before the talk.
For a 26 minute investment of your time, you will be entranced by seeing more than 50 examples of his work whilst at the same time gaining a fascinating insight into the world of this eloquent, innovative and inspiring artist.
I’m so glad I watched this show. I enjoyed Mr Tillis and his collage very much. I feel like I’ve learned about one of the important artists in collage that everyone who loves the genre should appreciate. I also learned more about how I react to abstract collage and what I tend to prefer. It’s always nice to gain a bit more self-knowledge. He’s wonderful - thank you for sharing!
amazing how these amazing artists that one has never heard of. so glad to discover this man. love his work. has given me faith to continue on my path.
I'm so impressed and have learned so much from this 26mins of time with Malcolm.

Thank you so very much for posting this video, it's always fun to discover a new, old talent who I can treasure as one of the greats. Again, thank you.
I'm so glad I found this video. He's very inspiring.
Wonderful works ! Finally I discover one who is working in some of the same way as I do with cutouts. An important video to me. Thanks very much, Malcolm !
Nice!
From Hieronymus Bosch to this > It's downhill all the way, is it not? Thank St Christina Mirabilis for Art Brut!
Heue.
A 5 year old could make these!
The good thing about art is it gets people talking. We may not always like what we’re looking at, but my goodness, it always provokes an immediate reaction. The fact that you think a 5 year old could do what he does is a relevant comment, it proves you’ve looked, and had a reaction. That’s what it’s all about. (Yes, I admit to laughing at some of what he’s done)
