Keith Tyson — Studio Wall Drawing September 1999 (The consequences of addition), No. 1
Keith Tyson

Studio Wall Drawing September 1999 (The consequences of addition), No. 1

A densely layered work on paper, this piece combines gouache, watercolor, felt-tip pen, and adhesive to create a complex web of diagrams, text, and imagery that reflects Tyson's interest in systems, chance, and interconnected ideas. Created in September 1999, the drawing functions as a kind of visual notebook or thinking map, capturing the artist's expansive and associative thought processes during a specific moment in his studio practice. The work embodies Tyson's ongoing exploration of the relationship between art, science, and philosophy, inviting the viewer into a labyrinthine world of accumulating meaning and consequence.
