been at the forefront of
contemporary art for over
three decades. Tillers explores
themes of contemporary
culture, from the political
debates of the 1980s, to the
effects of migration,
displacement and diaspora.
Most recently, his paintings
have been concerned with
place, locality and evocations
of the landscape.

of the Mersey and the people
and ships that have passed
down it over the years, writing
its history as it writes theirs.
She includes text both to tell
the stories and feature as part
of the visual whole.
