Tyson

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.
