Photo-Montage Artist Research Task 2
Tyler Spangler
“Tyler Spangler’s work is all about the mashup of context and perception, with a massive injection of color. He looks at the formalist relationship between images as they are removed from their original context. Connected to this, Spangler explores the significance of color, form, and photography through the medium of his digital collage. His background has undoubtedly had a massive impact on his artwork. He studied psychology at college, and he attended the Art Center College of Design. He also ran an illegal punk venue for thirteen shows until it got shut down by police. All of these elements combined play their part to influence and build his aesthetic.” https://www.forbes.com/sites/felicitycarter/2018/08/21/tyler-spangler-and-his-psychedelic-stream-of-consciousness/#20457db81d9a
Tyler says he bases his work around Pop art, mental health, Surrealism, Dada, and humor. He says he essentially just wants to inspire people, make them laugh, and create something beautiful.
