Christine Lee Tyler

About

American,   —   Christine Lee Tyler is an emerging, multidisciplinary artist. Her work explores the convergence of man-made material with the natural world. In her work, the struggle between these two elements often resolves in the domination of nature over synthetic material. She utilizes patterns found both in nature and manufactured fabrications that resemble flora. The process of creating these ornamental markings in a repetitive fashion draws upon the narrative of the mundane absurdity of the unspoken impermanence of life. Tyler works in ceramics, painting, video, drawing and collage. She has participated in group and solo shows both nationally and internationally. Her recent works were shown in Ely Contemporary Art Center, New Haven, CT; "Art Off Screen" curated by Eileen Jeng Lynch, New York, NY; Paradise Palace, Brooklyn, NY; and Local Projects, Queens, NY. She has a permanent installation in Elmhurst Sculpture Garden, Queens, NY and has exhibited in Queens Art Museum, both sponsored by NYFA grants. Tyler has completed art residencies at Shangyuan Art Residency, Beijing, China; Terre Vivente, Naples, Italy; Ne Na Contemporary Art Space, Chiang Mai, Thailand; Takt Art Residency, Berlin, Germany; Can Serrat, Barcelona, Spain; and Imagine, Sydney, Australia. Tyler received her MFA from Brooklyn College in 2019 and her BFA from the School of Visual Arts. She lives and works in New York City and Washington DC. She is the Art Department Chair at Art Academy, Pallotti College Prep in DC and her studio is in Brooklyn, NY.
