Keith Tyson

Turner Prize-winning British artist Keith Tyson’s (b. 1969) technically and conceptually astonishing diverse sculptures and paintings are inspired by elements from, among other things, the natural sciences, mathematics, poetry and mythology. Instead of self-expression, Tyson is interested in how the information systems and physical processes as well as social and aesthetic impulses we encounter in our everyday lives give rise to works of art, each of which is ultimately a unique entity. In Tyson’s art, everything is connected to everything, unexpectedly and without hierarchy, accurately reflecting the complexity of our shared world. The book is edited by Timo Valjakka.
