Awarded First Prize in the 2025 LBIF 40 Under 40 Exhibition, selected by Jennie Goldstein, Curator at the Whitney Museum.
Ty Le Roux is a multimedia artist from the American West Coast whose work remixes reality, exploring surrealism and consciousness through the layered lenses of personal memory, cultural detritus, and subconscious symbolism.
Influenced by creators like David Lynch, Remedios Varo, and William Mortensen, Le Roux embraces the imperfect and the arcane, reaching across mediums to unearth the haunted, the humorous, and the holy. Ty believes that art’s raw edges, gaps in mastery, unexpected glitches, or unnameable texture all carry a humanity that sterile perfection can’t replicate. In an age increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence, Ty finds lasting power in the unmistakable fingerprint of the artist: irregular, emotional, and mysterious.
Rather than overwhelm, Ty’s work invites, drawing viewers into dreamlike spaces that feel familiar yet eerily altered. A statue glimpsed six years ago might return in one of Le Roux’s pieces, now whispering a new story. Each work begins not with a plan, but with a feeling - a fleeting image, a concept, a myth in vapor form - and evolves through a process of layering, erasure, and intuitive assembly. The result is often stranger, more revealing, and more alive than what was first imagined.
