Nicola Tyson: Selected Paintings 1993-2022 is the first comprehensive monograph of paintings by British-born, New York-based artist Nicola Tyson (b. 1960). Tyson’s figurative works focus on the female body – presenting recognisable forms through an abstracted lens that morphs her subjects into fluid, dreamlike characters. This catalogue documents the evolution of Tyson’s unique painterly language over the course of three decades, featuring over 50 artworks interwoven with a series of photographs taken of Tyson in the studio and on her farm in upstate New York.Also featured is an essay by Jennifer Higgie that discusses Tyson’s feminist-informed approach to figurative painting, looking to her formative years running the queer experimental project space Trial BALLOON in New York during the 1990s, right up to the present day.
