Tyson Reeder.
Tyson Reeder is a painter of everyday life, setting up his easel outdoors using painting as one would command an iPhone to take pictures of buildings, deploying a vast array of academic as well as self taught painterly modes. Compositionally his subject matter appears in distorted perspective, that he shares with expressionism’s ego-oriented visual regime. Formally the work of Reeder embraces archaic modernist registers, such as a vivid palette that he has in common with the fauvists. Technically Reeder is known for mixing painted areas with pencil hatching and dotted fields, making his work instantly recognisable as playful, poetic, seductive and mildly hallucinatory.
