Henry Tietzsch-Tyler is an artist who works across the borders of painting, performance and installation. His dual British-German identity provides the context for his engagement with questions concerning the inheritance of memory and the relationship of memory to forgetting.
He took part in his first exhibition at the Melkweg, Amsterdam in 1975 while a student at Sheffield School of Art, and since then has exhibited widely in Europe and the UK, with a particular focus on Central and Eastern Europe. From 2008 to 2016 he kept a studio in Berlin. He continues to work between Sheffield and Berlin.
