Jake Tilson is an artist and designer. A pioneer of early website design, including the award winning website THECOOKER 1994, Tilson also founded the influential arts magazine ATLAS in 1984. His cookbook, A TALE OF 12 KITCHENS, published in 2006, won the Gourmand World Cookbook Award and was shortlisted for both the Andre Simon Food & Drink Award and the Glenfiddich Food & Drink Award. His eclectic eye and collaborative approach extends into the graphic design work he produces for clients - architects, publishers and individuals. He has made shoe designs for Paul Smith and a work from his exhibition, A Net of Eels, was bought by the Tate Gallery Collection. Rooted in everyday culture and a pervading sense of place, Tilson's practice often focuses on the unremarkable whilst purposefully avoiding any sense of spectacle. His work celebrates the survival of the particular or the distinct in the face of the generic. Tilson studied painting at Chelsea College of Art and the Royal College of Art where he also taught in Communication Art & Design. Jake is a trustee of the Oxford Symposium on Food & Cookery, a contributor to magazines such as Blueprint, Saveur, Creative Review, Food & Wine USA and has reported on sustainable fishing for BBC Radio 4’s Food Programme. His second cookbook, In At The Deep End, Cooking Fish Venice to Tokyo, is published in 2011. |
