LOOKING FOR CLOVERS
Madison Tyrell
09.09.2025 - 04.10.2025
Tyrell’s work exists and thrives in the liminal. In her paintings, space relinquishes its hold on the physical and moves into the spiritual. The work blurs the edges between the perceived and the hidden, as figures and structures appear half-formed, like echoes reaching through the seams - sensations extending between self and other, gathering into a world of considered
reflections.

Private View: A Creative Act
Observing nature in built environments, Barcelona-based artist Madison Tyrell examines intuition and the power of the creative act in the final stages of completing a painting
Differing from the deliberacy of the artist’s process, a single creative act can change the course of a painting instantaneously – a brief, intuitive decision, powered by spontaneity. As an essential element in an artist’s toolkit, Barcelona-based Canadian painter Madison Tyrell examines her own work and experience through this concept for short film A Creative Act – captured between her studio and natural surroundings by director Camila Vicentelli. Drawing upon her environment in connection to her existence, she takes an observational approach to creating art, finding significance in ethereal sensations that appear in crowded streets and the subtle ways nature asserts itself.
“A creative act functions both as part of the process and as a creation in and of itself – the spontaneous ideas that seem to come from nowhere. For this piece, I was drawn to those concepts and how they naturally flow to artists: rituals and routines, solutions to problems, and the satisfaction derived from simple actions.”

// STATEMENT
My artwork is an investigation into our surrounding landscape and its inextricable connection to all aspects of our existence. I am working to document the unseen.
Growing up in the natural beauty of British Columbia, Canada, I developed a fascination with how we perceive natural spaces. This innate connection to nature is now being transformed by my experience of living in Barcelona. I focus on the ethereal sensations found between the crowded streets and the nature that seeps through the cracks, exploring distorted perspectives and a slipping narrative.
I have always been obsessed with nature and the spiritual connection we inherently share with it. This obsession has led me to investigate how we create and occupy new spaces alongside the natural world. My latest work attempts to express the more natural side of our connection, delving into memory and perception of these shifting spaces, highlighting the ethereal sensation between what we see and what we feel.
