Introducing these fantastic and intriguing new images by Bill Tolley. Bill studied at Saint Martin's School of Art, London and has had much success both nationally and internationally with his shared and one man exhibitions. We are delighted to welcome Bill's work to our ever increasing portfolio of Artists.

Bill Tolley believes that if you paint to earn money the image lacks the honesty and genuine feeling that is captured in a painting that is painted for the sheer need of painting. Bill is well read in philosophy, although when asked if he uses this as a point of inspiration his answer if a definite 'no'.

To Bill, philosophy is an intellectual subject and most artists spoil their work by intellectualising it - 'if you evaluate art it automatically loses that magical feeling'.

In his own words 'philosophy satisfies the mind, whereas painting satisfies the emotions' 'Painting is not about being logical it is done emotionally' his work evolves rather than being contrived and it is that involved depth that makes it so intriguing.
