The Artist - Tyson Hall
Was raised in the Bronx amidst the hip-hop culture evolution that took place in the late 70's early 80's. He chose graffiti as his art form because they could always find a medium to express himself. At John Jay College while enrolled in an art class he was inspired by the film on the life and art of Jean-Michael Basquiat; Tyson purchased his first piece of canvas and began to paint. At this time, he gave unity to his graffiti and drawing. Painting became a vehicle for the communication and expression of Tyson's spirituality, culture, and values. His art conveys cutting edge themes, addresses social forces and their influence on the community.
