Keith Tyson, nato a Ulverston nel
1969, “mappa” la sua esistenza e quel che lo circonda, senza limiti di
contenuto e con grande curiosità, secondo ottiche alternate, lontane o
vicinissime. Non si può certo parlare di una tradizionale cartografia, bensì di
un ricerca basata sui sensi, sulla connessione tra l’artista e il quotidiano, perché
“tutte le cose vengono per rivelare qualcosa sul loro essere”. Ha definito le
sue opere come un “tutto sulla navigazione” e i suoi disegni (ludicrous , dal
termine latino ludicrus e ludus ) come “una sorta di giornale… come le lettere
di Van Gogh”.
Il
suo lavoro evolve successivamente nei Nature
Paintings e nei Natural Portraits,
opere eseguite a tecnica mista su alluminio, il cui risultato è indipendente
dalla mano dell’artista, in quanto sono le reazioni chimiche a definirne
l’evoluzione.
Tyson
espone nelle gallerie e nei musei di tutto il mondo dal 1996, tra le principali
