Tilney Hardiment
Tilney Hardiment is interested in the subtle implications of images. Her practice is essentially concerned with the abstract nature of forms and focuses on their evocative qualities by exploring the work’s materiality. Tilney studied fine art painting at Bath Academy of Art from 1982 - 1985 where she studied under Michael Simpson, Maria Lalic, and Peter Kinley, also with Paula Rego, and Susan Hiller. In 2009, she graduated with an MFA from The University of Brighton. Since 2000 Tilney’s practice evolved from the early work to series of drawings, paintings and giclee prints. Inspired by the economy of minimalist painting, she employed abstract corporeal forms and shapes as a compositional tool with an emotive presence.
