Brian Tilbrook’s oeuvre encompasses an array of mediums. Visually appealing, the subject matter of his more recent works often engages with global geopolitical issues, such as climate change, as a way to express his concern and sense of social responsibility. Tilbrook, a former head of the art department at the South Island School, has given purpose to his art by documenting local heritage buildings and by bringing awareness to ongoing global affairs.
