Tynan Kerr is an artist based in Los Angeles, CA. He received a BFA from the Minneapolis College of Art Design. He also exhibits under the name AMTK in collaboration with Andrew Mazorol. His work has been featured in New American Paintings, Art Forum, publications by McSweeney’s, Milkweed Editions, and The University of California Press among others. Grants received include the Jerome Foundation Emerging Artist Fellowship. His work explores subconscious influences on perception, the intersection of visible and invisible worlds, and modes of energetic transmission and transformation. His work draws on images and information gleaned through dreams, plein-air observation, and banks of individual and collective memory. Labyrinths, loops of repetitive pattern, wobbling landscapes and figures associated with personal and archetypal meaning are represented through eclectic painting approaches, along with assemblies of carved wood and ceramics with occasional kinetic elements. He works with oil paints along with more indirect processes involving materials like beeswax, tree resins, egg yolks, dyes and pigments which leave space for chance and nonlinear associative meaning within and between the works.
