About the Artist

Nicola Tyson is a British artist acclaimed for her compelling and unsettling figurative paintings. Her work is instantly recognizable by its distorted, hybridized, and often contorted female forms, which challenge conventional notions of beauty and representation. Tyson's artistic practice delves deep into the complexities of identity, gender, and the unconscious, rendering figures that are at once vulnerable and powerful. Employing a vibrant palette and bold brushwork, she creates intensely psychological landscapes on canvas that push the boundaries of portraiture and the human figure, inviting viewers to confront the fluidity of self and the myriad ways in which identity is constructed and perceived.
