The world premier of Spirit Catcher will be taking place at the 70-painting career retrospective of Tom Gilleon at Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West.
Western Spirit: Scottsdale’s Museum of the West
A master of color and composition, R. Tom Gilleon manipulates formal elements to depict time-honored Western themes in new and inventive ways. His evocative perceptions of reality feature bold luminous color and economy of detail. His trademark tipi paintings suggest a mythical glow, as if illuminated by the moon or glowing embers within.

The Gilleon show will feature two digital canvas artworks, both collaborations with Marshall Monroe, inventor of the PIXoils™ Digital Canvas platform.
Spirit Catcher is a monumental 22-minute digital triptych featuring landscapes, portraiture, and various visual transformations, all integrated with an original multi-dimensional sound score.
The work contains images taken by famed photographer Edward S. Curtis, re-interpreted in vivid contemporary color and painterly texture.
The show will also include single-panel masterworks Hungry Fox Equinox, Fort Mountain, and Flute of the Loon.
