Tyler Givens is a multidisciplinary artist whose fantastical domain is an unapologetic departure from the ordinary, a realm where figures morph and stories unravel beyond conventional bounds. Weaving traditional mediums with emerging technologies, Givens explores the power of escapism as a means of deliverance and invites the viewer to confront and interrogate the foundations of our shared realities. Inspired by anime’s philosophical depths, the flamboyance of ‘00s fashion imagery, and a Christian upbringing, their creations evoke themes of sex, freedom, and the apocalypse. Their work is simultaneously a tranquil escape and a confrontation — a journey into the uncharted territories of self discovery and liberation.
