2:00 pm, TED LILLEY: “Painting in Three Dimensions”

'During my professional life as materials scientist I was always interested in innovation. For example at St Gobain/Norton I led an R and D group seeking to create new or improved high tech ceramic materials for medical application, eg replacement hip joints. Once my scientific work came to an end I slowly became an artist but always thinking of innovation for the process art I was developing. This has led me to make my paintings three dimensional, flat no more.

The deformed paper on which I paint catches the light simultaneously at all kind of different angles. the optical effect can be spectacular when the colors unite to form a coherent whole.'
