TYLER SPOHN

Tyler Spohn produces immaculately detailed gouache paintings about subject rooted in popular culture. He removes any unnecessary elements, often omitting backgrounds. Value is flattened into a solid color, giving his work a graphic quality similar to Wayne Thiebaud or early 20th century commercial artists.

Quiet observation and attention to subtle features are revealed in Tyler’s line work. When he embraces an overarching subject, it is often seen out over months to its logical conclusion. For instance, he started a series of paintings of coins, which then led to the artist painting a separate depiction of every denomination of American currency.

This focus, clarity of vision, and intention for documentation is demonstrated in all that Tyler creates.
