Tidemann's artistic practice spans a variety of mediums, including painting, drawing, video, and mixed-media sculpture. With an eye to the surreal and to the animalistic, Tidemann sources taxidermy for both inspiration and for physical construction material, granting his work and organic sensibility.

In creating human-like characters and their corresponding scenes, elements of mystifying horror, humor, and the psychological are entwined.

Tidemann is an active member of the Norwegian art scene, and has exhibited frequently within Scandinavia and abroad. He received his MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art in London, and has been the recipient of many grants including the Natt&Dag Årets Kunst award and the Billedkinstnernes vederlandfond.
