Clive Tyler

Artist Bio

Clive R. Tyler, studied Fine Art and Design and graduated with a BFA. Painting with integrity and seeking the truth in subject matter, his classical oil compositional painting style is unique for soft pastel. With strong composition and attention to light, values and color theory, paintings make an emotional connection. “I wish to share the outdoor experience that I have had with nature and my interpretation as an artist with a representational impressionist point of view. I am painting the experience, not a reproduction of the view.” Clive R. Tyler resides in Taos NM and still visits his property in Westcliffe Co.

Artist Statement:

As a Plein Air and Studio artist, I paint in natural surroundings and out in the open. I have always been inspired by nature and the peace within the wilderness. I travel around America to Paint, rivers, snow scenes, tall aspens and oceans with moose, bison and elk all on the list of subject matter that I enjoy painting.
