Artist Tyrone Johnson Neuland’s Exhibit at the Renaissance Pub

“Petals, Politics and Parables”

Tyrone Johnson-Neuland, a Norwich, NY native and longtime resident of Oswego, NY, has devoted over three decades to the vibrant and emotive tradition of Expressionism. Holding a BFA from Syracuse University (1990) and an MA from SUNY Oswego (1999), Johnson-Neuland masterfully channels his personal experiences and observations into dynamic works that reflect the intricate layers of human emotion and societal complexities.

“I’m drawn to what’s underneath the surface—what we carry, what we avoid, what we hope for. I’m chasing what’s real. Not polished. Not perfect. Just honest,” Johnson-Neuland reflects on his artistic process. “In the end, I’m not trying to explain anything. I’m trying to connect—offering something people can feel, reflect on, or simply sit with.”

The exhibition title “Petals, Politics and Parables” captures the essence of Johnson-Neuland’s diverse artistic exploration—from the delicate beauty of nature to the complex realities of contemporary society and the timeless stories that connect us all.
