KEITH TYSON
worksKeith Tyson was born in Ulverston in 1969, he "maps" his life and what surrounds him, without limits of content and with great curiosity, following both distant or very close optical visions. Of course it's not a traditional geographical map, but a research based on senses, on the connection between the artist and the everyday-life, because "all things come to reveal something about their being."
His work evolved then into the Nature Paintings and Natural Portraits series, in which works are executed with chemical reactions on aluminum, that have an evolution independent from the artist's hand.
Tyson exhibited in galleries and museums around the world since 1996, the main recent exhibitions include: A Mystery To Myself, David Risley Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2014; Panta Rhei, Peace, London, 2013; Entangled in the Amber Glow of a Weary World Woven, David Risley Gallery, Copenhagen, Denmark; Keith Tyson: Contemporary Grotesques, Galerie Georges-Philippe & Nathalie Vallois, Paris, France, 2011; Keith Tyson: 52 Variables The Pace Gallery, New York, 2010.
Keith Tyson is a British artist. He was born in Ulverston, UK in 1969.
