Creation Longs

Prepare to be stunned by the breathtaking hyper-realism of Josh Tiessen’s art. For over 15 years, this award-winning artist has meticulously crafted narratives featuring animals and architecture, some even incorporating stunning Renaissance-inspired frames.

But Josh’s art goes far deeper than aesthetics.

Deeply rooted in his faith, his work tackles the ecological crisis we face today, with one of the detail-rich pieces taking up to 1700 hours to complete. Join veteran journalist Lorna Dueck as she explores the beauty and profound messages within Josh Tiessen’s collection, “CREATION LONGS.”

“From my Jewish and Christian heritage, the Bible has been a guiding influence in my artistic practice.

 

I have endeavoured to draw together two strands – spirituality and art – as a way to inspire greater appreciation for the natural world, motivate environmental stewardship, and provide hope in anxious times.” Josh Tiessen
