Gallery 181 at 181 Fremont Residences in San Francisco Debuts “Portraits” by Visual Artist Tyler Willis
SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- Gallery 181 at 181 Fremont Residences welcomes “Portraits” by Tyler Willis, an American-Brazilian visual artist based in the San Francisco Bay Area, with a background in architecture and engineering. The exhibition runs from October 23, 2024 – February 28, 2025. Viewings are by private appointment only.
In his artistic practice, Willis employs a diverse range of media, including 3D printing, epoxy resin, graphite, charcoal, and oil/acrylic paint. Through layered textures and colors, he creates portraits that blend photorealism, technical sketching, and abstract expressionism. Willis’s creative process begins by mapping the structure of his subjects from a blend of both imagination and photographic references. Through meticulous layering of detail, the features emerge while maintaining a painterly touch.
