Théodore B. Boyerï is a Los Angeles–based painter whose work moves between the visible world and the images carried beneath it. Across abstraction, figuration, and installation, he treats painting as a means of giving physical form to memory, belief, intimacy, and the unseen. “I paint to make the invisible visible.”
Beginning with dyed raw canvas, bleach, casein, and oil, Boyerï developed a language in which celestial maps and unstable geographies gradually opened into bodies, flowers, animals, and psychologically charged interiors. His Bathers and Fantasy paintings occupy the threshold between observation and dream, where the familiar remains emotionally precise even as it becomes strange.
Born in Los Angeles in 1983, Boyerï earned his BFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York, studying with Jack Whitten, Sue Williams, and Alice Aycock, and continued at the Zürich University of the Arts with Sabine Flach. His work has been presented internationally, including exhibitions with Praz-Delavallade in Los Angeles and Sevil Dolmaci Gallery in Istanbul, and is held by the Museo de la Ciudad de México and the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum.
