Brüer Tidman frequently explores the complexities of the Artist/Model relationship and the contemplations of the lover/muse theme. We are presented with sharply juxtaposed characters which have come together to share an encounter. One of the pair may be portrayed as a distinct, rounded and fulfilled being, the other being painted in a markedly contrasting, surreal and abstracted style, indicating perhaps a dominant or superior partner in the coupling, or one deemed worthy of adulation, with the other being more passive, submissive or receptive – signifying the duality of life. Sometimes one can detect another presence – perhaps a spirit, a shadow, a voyeur, an alter ego – the exact representation being something for the artist to know, and for the viewer to speculate. But this is the Tidman trademark through and through – open-ended questions and indefinite answers.
