The Yellowstone Art Museum (YAM) is excited to open its newest exhibition, Tyler Joseph Krasowski: Everything Becomes Something, on February 28, 2025. Krasowski is a virtuosic and accomplished draftsman, and his works reflect his excitement and delight towards the immediacy of drawing. Drawing is often used as a preparatory tool, but for Krasowski, drawings and sketches are valued artworks unto themselves.
Born in Minneapolis, Krasowski grew up in the Chicago area. He went to art school at the University of Montana and earned a BFA in Drawing in 2009. After graduating, Krasowski traveled the country with Drive By Press, received a commission to create a design for Pearl Jam’s world tour, and was hired as a studio assistant to renowned printmaker Tony Fitzpatrick.
He has been a resident at MATRIX Press in 2012 and 2014, designed textiles with Western Sensibility, and exhibited at Spring Break Art Fair in Los Angeles (2022, 2023, and 2024).
Kimberly Gaitonde, the YAM’s associate curator, speaks to the exhibition: “Tyler’s work
showcases a unique quality that is both playful and serious. His use of everyday materials
democratizes the act of drawing and reminds us that you don’t need anything more than
something to write with and something to write on to make a good drawing.” The artist’s work will be exhibited in the Charles M. Bair Family and Northwest Projects Galleries until June 1st of this year. The museum will host Krasowski for an Artist Talk on March 20th; a reception begins at 5pm, and the talk begins at 6pm. This event is free and open to the public.
Tyler Joseph Krasowski: Everything Becomes Something will be exhibited in the Yellowstone Art Museum’s Charles M. Bair and Northwest Projects Galleries and is sponsored by the Missoula Art Museum. The exhibition is also supported by the Montana Art Gallery Directors Association.
Visitors can enjoy free admission to view the exhibition during the YAM’s regular hours, thanks
to the Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program.
