The definitive survey of Keith Tyson's thirty-year career.

British Turner Prize-winning artist Keith Tyson is known for a distinctive and diverse body of work including drawing, painting, installation, and sculpture. Showing a wide range of influences, from mathematics and science through to poetry and mythology, he is interested in how art emerges from the combination of information systems and physical processes that surround us every day.

For over thirty years, Tyson has probed, dissected, explored, and questioned reality. Not fixed to one artistic style, Tyson sets out to challenge himself and the audience, whilst working with diverse materialsโ€”paint, clay, metal, resinโ€”to question our knowledge of the world we perceive as real, and art's role in representing it.

With newly commissioned texts from an internationally diverse array of writers, and including a previously unpublished interview with the artist, this is the definitive survey of one of the most restless and adventurous creators working today.
