Tyson Schroeder
I paint. I draw. The images are provided by the world around me
filtered through dreams and drunken rages. I am not at fault.
I create blatant images that in turn create emotional, social and
political puzzles for the viewer. The paintings also provide clues
for solving puzzles deeply embedded in myself, like private jokes
I try to share. These works release me from worldly issues that
I feel I cannot personally change or control.
Within my work I am always unquestionably right.
My art process is hard to describe, for even i don't fully understand
it. Although I realize it is the product of exposure to various
artistic styles, schools of thought, processes and egotisms; I am
unclear as to where it came from or where it is going. Being heavily
influenced by emotions, social issues, political events, dreams,
and abstract notions my art could be loosely defined as Expressionist
Sociology with a Surrealist twist. I fear it may be even more complex
than that. I have consumed so many images of better artists and
the samplings of humanity around me that I feel almost cannibalistic
in nature. You are what you eat. I eat images. Spewing the waste
out in combined Expressionist-Surrealist-Realist form. I am the
product of what has been provided as food. Humanity is on the menu
as the main course. I am a Humanist. Cannibalistic Expressionism
would actually be the most accurate style to define my work.
