Tyler Shields: Edge of Reality

  • Overview
    "You have to be willing to walk to the edge to leave your state of comfort and try something that scares you." - Tyler Shields

    Tyler Shields’ Edge of Reality offers a compelling exploration of his artistic evolution, showcasing a seamless blend of fantasy and reality through cinamtic storytelling. Known for his provocative and visually striking imagery, Shields continues to challenge perceptions, crafting works that evoke both memory and introspection. This exhibition delves into themes of vulnerability, power, and illusion, drawing viewers into a world that feels both familiar and dreamlike.

    The exhibition features a curated selection of Shields’ career-defining works alongside new pieces that expand his creative narrative. Highlights include Under the Rain, a romantic portrayal of love amidst a storm; Casablanca, an homage to cinematic timelessness; Ferrari Legs, a striking fusion of elegance and power; and Two Glasses of Champagne, a celebration of indulgence and intimacy.

    Shields’ ability to juxtapose glamour with raw emotion is at the forefront of Edge of Reality. Through compositions that explore desire and human connection, he invites audiences to see beyond the surface and into the complexities of his visual storytelling.

    Marking over a decade of representation by Guy Hepner, Edge of Reality is both a retrospective and a glimpse into Shields’ future creative trajectory, a celebration of an artist who continues to push boundaries with his cinematic style and evocative imagery.
