Tyler Berry, Clayton

Tyler’s work holds a personal sophistication honed through a lifelong dedication to truthful observation, restraint and harmony, and fidelity to nature. His work is both an exploration and expression of humanity, pathos, and the natural world. The language of drawing, form, and light maintains in him a dialogue with the Old Masters. His paintings are a search for balance between the universal and particular, an attempt at humble authenticity. Tyler Berry (b. 1994) was raised in rural Connecticut. Upon receiving his BFA in 2016 from the University of Hartford, he would work as an animator in Greece and then Poland on the feature film Loving Vincent. During this formative year, he immersed himself in the work of the Old Masters, studying and copying in the museums of Europe. A graduate and now core instructor of Grand Central Atelier’s four-year core program, Tyler currently lives and works in New York City. His work hangs in collections internationally, throughout the US, Europe, Japan, and China. He is the recipient of numerous awards and has participated in group shows throughout New England, New York City, and Europe, notably at Salmagundi Club and Sotheby’s in NYC, and the MEAM in Barcelona.
