RANDALL TIEDMAN

B. 1949-2012

Randall Tiedman was a highly intuitive self-taught artist and skilled draftsman who spent nearly four years during his early career copying old master paintings to acquire technical proficiency in oils and various graphic media. He worked on his paintings over a long period of time, beginning with a familiar image, then subjecting it to a series of destructions and reconstructions, which may be metaphorically compared to a process of death and rebirth. 

His work was included in over 29 juried exhibitions at the Cleveland Museum of Art, The Butler Museum of American Art, Erie Art Museum, National Arts Program, the Hallinan Religious Show and the Fine Arts Association. 

Tiedman's paintings are included in the collections of The Albright-Knox Art Gallery in Buffalo, The Butler Museum of American Art, The Erie Art Museum, Case Western Reserve University, Lakeland Community College as well as private and corporate collections across the United States. In 2002 his works were purchased by Cirque de Soliel.
