钟天铎先生，1943年生于苏州。少时以素描、水彩画见称于吴中，少长则致力于传统书画。精山水、人物、花鸟诸画科，并雅善书法篆刻，尤擅长鉴定书画文物。钟天铎画学用力尤勤，能入其堂奥，学而善变，俱能得其精义，机杼自出。篆刻融合古今，继承发展形成自家风格。书画、篆刻作品，多次入选国内外展览，颇得时论好评。又曾应邀两度赴日本、三度赴新加坡进行艺术交流，其作品深得彼邦人士赞赏。已出版有《钟天铎书画作品集》、《受斋印谱》（古吴轩出版社）、《中国美术大事记——钟天铎艺术创作状态》（中国文史出版社）、《钟天铎临〈礼器碑〉》（中国美术学院出版社）等。
钟天铎曾从学于唐云先生，唐云先生评价其“绘画以写意韵为旨趣，尝博涉诸家，转益多师，于青藤、白阳、八大、大涤子、蒲作英、吴缶庐诸家，画家用力尤勤，能入其堂奥，学而善变，俱能得其精义，机抒自己出。”钟先生的书画的确注重对比莫以为的表现和把握，气象正大：山水多取法石涛，兼参董其昌，在一片笔墨氤氲之中表现古意，气运神畅；花鸟取意海派诸家，善于大胆泼墨，再施以小心收拾，大气而不失雅致；篆刻风格别开生面，以秦汉为底不为时人窠臼所拘；书法作品注重作品内在的籍蕴之妙，吸纳了秦汉石刻与简帛书法中的朴拙、大气，拙意十足又灵动十足。林散之笔赞曰：“有境界，有魄力，浑浑瀚瀚，自成丘壑。”
