Madison Tyrell
b. 1994 | Vancouver, Canada
Working primarily in oil painting, her practice explores the threshold between the visible world and unseen realities, creating dreamlike compositions where landscape, architecture and translucent figures coexist in quiet tension. Drawing from mythology, spirituality and the imaginative logic of childhood, her paintings consider how memory, perception and the natural world become spaces through which the intangible can be experienced.
Influenced by the vast landscapes of Canada and the legacy of painters such as Lawren Harris, Emily Carr and A.Y. Jackson, Tyrell approaches painting as an intuitive process guided by observation, experimentation and transformation. Her works often begin with digital collages assembled from her personal photographic archive before evolving through successive layers of paint, washes and erasures. Embracing uncertainty as an essential part of the process, her paintings gradually reveal atmospheric spaces suspended between reality and imagination.
Recent solo exhibitions include A Few Miles Above at Abbozzo Gallery, Toronto (2026), Looking for Clovers at BETA Contemporary, Barcelona (2025), Losing touch with LAB36, Barcelona (2023). Her work has been presented at international art fairs including SWAB Barcelona and CAN Art Fair Madrid. In 2026, she was selected for the third edition of the LENTA Artist Residency, where she dedicated a period of focused research to exploring the threshold between the visible world and unseen realities, further expanding the conceptual foundations of her practice.
