Tyler Swain

Tyler Swain’s work embraces a unique combination of textured abstraction and striking realism through his thickly layered oil paintings on panel.

“I strive to find a balance between chaos and control in my work. On the one hand, I am endlessly fascinated with careful rendering and exploring the intricacies of a subject. On the other, I have a deep love for pure abstraction and spontaneous layers of paint. I call a painting done when these elements harmonize with each other.” - Tyler Swain
