Tyler Shields (American, b. 1982)

Tyler Shields series, Indulgence, features actress Ana Mulvoy Ten and a hungry friend of the reptilian variety. The collection is centered around the idea of luxury and society’s sick obsession with indulging in the finer things life has to offer – like Hermes, Chanel and Prada to name a few.

“Considered the Andy Warhol of his generation, Shields has produced images that play with notions of the gaze, power structures, hyper-realism, iconoclastic-tendencies and cinematographic practice.  Artinfo.com calls Tyler Shields “Hollywood’s Hottest and Most Twisted Photographer”, GQ puts him in the 100 Best Things in the World and LA Weekly says: “The mystery behind his relationships and habits captivate the media, not unlike the art world’s best-known friend of the famous, Andy Warhol.” Tyler Shields photoshoots with celebrities such as Heather Morris & Lindsay Lohan have made headlines on CNN and every media outlet. Tyler Shields continues to shock the public with his rebellious works.
