Nicola Tyson: NEED

Nicola Tyson deconstructs the human silhouette to extract a raw, psychological truth. The Petzel Gallery presents this striking work where bodies twist and metamorphose, reflecting the tensions of contemporary identity. Through her incisive line and vibrant colors, the British artist captures the essence of our deepest aspirations without ever falling into conventional realism. Her figures, both vulnerable and powerful, act as mirrors of the human condition, making the invisible palpable. It’s a privileged opportunity to observe how she plays with proportions to translate universal emotions. This presentation highlights her talent for transforming the intimate into a fascinating visual spectacle. The works are visible from March 12 to April 25, 2026, offering a new perspective on how we inhabit our own bodies.
