Théodore B. Boyerï in his Los Angeles studio
 
 

Théodore B. Boyerï is a Los Angeles–based painter working across abstraction, figuration, and installation. His practice gives material form to memory, intimacy, and belief, guided by a central proposition: “I paint to make the invisible visible.”

Early works combined dye, bleach, oil, casein, and mineral materials with celestial maps and imagined geographies. These experiments developed into the figures, animals, flowers, and charged domestic settings of his Bathers and Fantasy paintings, where remembered experience takes on the logic of a dream.

His solo exhibitions include Big Rip at Patrick Painter Inc., Los Angeles (2018); Cosmic Microwave at Sevil Dolmacı Gallery, Istanbul (2022); Nature Morte at Signs and Symbols, New York (2022); and Mystic.Mother.Lover. at Praz-Delavallade, Los Angeles (2022). Two-person exhibitions include Set in Stone at Shulamit Nazarian (2016) and Aleph and the Rock at HILDE (2018). Recent group exhibitions include Water & Flower at Wilding & Cran (2024). In October 2026, his paintings were presented by The Walker Collection at Art Hub ATX in Austin, Texas. His work is in the collection of the Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum, Long Beach.

Boyerï received his BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York, in 2012 and studied at the Zürich University of the Arts in 2011.
