Tye C is a proud Palawa artist, born and raised on Naarm. A new voice in the Aboriginal art space, Tye paints with acrylic on canvas, blending traditional themes with a fresh, contemporary edge. His style is instantly recognisable, bright, bold, and cartoonistic, drawing the eye in with vibrant colours and playful shapes.

At the heart of Tye’s work are themes of family and cultural connection. Through his art, he explores what it means to be a young Palawa man today, honouring his roots while expressing his identity in a way that feels true to him. Each piece is a reflection of lived experience, community, and the power of belonging.

Tye’s art journey began as a personal outlet and quickly became a way to strengthen cultural connections.
