Connor Tingley is an American contemporary artist whose multidisciplinary practice spans painting, drawing, sculpture, installation, and design. Based in Los Angeles, Tingley creates psychologically charged works that explore themes of perception, memory, spirituality, identity, and the human condition. Combining classical artistic training with a deeply experimental approach to materials, his practice bridges traditional craftsmanship and contemporary conceptual inquiry, resulting in works that are both technically accomplished and emotionally resonant.Tingley's work is characterized by expressive figuration, layered symbolism, and an ongoing investigation into the relationship between form and consciousness. Working across oil, acrylic, charcoal, mixed media, bronze, and found materials, he often combines abstraction with representational imagery, allowing each body of work to evolve through philosophical reflection and intuitive mark-making. His recent series examine mythology, ritual, mortality, belief systems, and the transformative potential of art, while his sculptural practice expands these themes into immersive three-dimensional forms.After an extensive artistic apprenticeship under illustrator Sheldon Borenstein, Tingley briefly attended ArtCenter College of Design before pursuing an independent career. Since then, he has collaborated with figures across the worlds of contemporary art, fashion, music, and design, including François Nars on the internationally released NARS x Connor Tingley collection. His work has appeared on the cover of Vogue Russia and has been commissioned and collected by prominent cultural figures including A$AP Rocky, Michèle Lamy, Cindy Crawford, and Sophia Loren.Tingley has exhibited internationally, presenting solo and collaborative exhibitions in the United States and Europe. Recent exhibitions include What Do You Think You Believe? at Maxfield in Los Angeles and The Nuns, a major new body of work exploring spirituality, symbolism, and transformation. Through a practice that continuously challenges conventional distinctions between representation and abstraction, Connor Tingley has established himself as one of the most distinctive voices of his generation, creating works that invite viewers to question perception while embracing curiosity, vulnerability, and wonder.
