About Tyler Wallach:

Tyler Wallach is an innovative and independent queer artist living in Harlem, recognized for his bright and boldly colored street-art characters on both canvas and clothing. Referred to as “the 1988 love child of Keith Haring and Lisa Frank”, Tyler, a native Texan, hails New York City with 5+ years of experience painting and independently producing large-scale solo art shows, multi-faceted clothing lines, and brand integrated murals across the globe. Tyler has also adopted a unique form of interactive art by painting live, in-person at events throughout the country to further engage the conversation between visual artists and their audience. This live-painting style led Tyler to win the 2015 Brooklyn Nightlife Award for “Best Visual Artist”. Compassion and care for the LGBTQ community is a driving force of inspiration and has led Tyler to produce many multiple large-scale paintings a year that are donated and auctioned off by national LGBTQ charities with 100% of proceeds going toward at risk queer youth and anti-bullying efforts. In the past, Tyler has donated works of art to The Trevor Project, The Tyler Clementi Foundation, The Miami-Dade LGBTQ Business Association, Harrisburg PA LGBT Center, VOICES4, Callen Lorde, as well as many other queer organizations throughout the country.
