Artist Timothy C Tyler

Artist Timothy C Tyler (American artist)

Timothy C Tyler spent his entire childhood in small towns in California, Arizona and Oklahoma where did traditional farm/ranch jobs; hauling hay, working cattle, and driving a tractor. At age fourteen, a local rancher commissioned him to paint a large landscape of a beloved mountain. "For decades, local artist Timothy Tyler has worked with paint to add a certain contemporary edge to his still life works. However, as with any artist, exploration and experimentation is a must, so now, Tyler has gained much notoriety from patrons and peers for his use of the female figure. While this could generally go into a conversation about the male gaze, Tyler instead portrays his heroines in strong poses. We talked with the artist about his studio practice and interests, where he added that “apples don’t stand a chance next to the human figure,” and we couldn't agree more."
