This Artist Creates Pre‑apocalyptic Pop‑surreal Paintings With Glossy Humour And Horror Reframing Death And Consumer Culture

Tyler Tilley is a Canadian‑born surreal pop artist currently based in Thailand, known for “cute & weird” oil paintings that mash up pop‑culture icons, horror, kitsch and dark humour.

He describes himself as “not a fan of normal” and “painting during the pre‑apocalyptic period,” building highly rendered, candy‑coloured scenes where skulls, mascots, cartoon characters and slogans collide to poke fun at death, consumer culture and self‑help clichés. His originals and prints are sold via Etsy, Saatchi and galleries like Northern Contemporary, while he also runs an active YouTube and Instagram presence sharing process videos, rants and painting insights
