About the artist

Tulloch focuses on how creative mediums can be combined and subverted to tell powerful stories; exploring the creolization of cultures within the built environment and natural landscapes. Tulloch’s work has been shown in institutions such as the NYU Center for Black Visual Culture; CUE Art Foundation; Locust Projects; Faena Art Project Room; and the MAXXI, Rome. His work is presented as part of the permanent collection of the Studio Museum in Harlem. Tulloch has won numerous prizes and residencies; including the 2022 Emerging Visionary Grant by Instagram and the Brooklyn Museum’s Black Visionaries Program, and received the 2023 YoungArts Jorge M. Perez Award. He has also been recognized as artist laureate for the Bakehouse x Cité internationale des arts residency in Paris, France. Most recently, Tulloch was selected as a 2024 Knight New Works recipient pushing forward his architectural sculpture series Porch Passages. And he was invited to participate in the 2025 Florida Prize in Contemporary Art exhibition at the Orlando Museum of Art. This summer he participated in a residency at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art and The Momentary in partnership with YoungArts. And he is currently a 2026 Silver Art Resident. Many of Tulloch’s projects have been grounded in his Jamaican and African-American heritage. His work expresses the ways in which bodies exist between cultures and borders. Tulloch’s multidisciplinary practice seeks to redefine and reshape the boundaries of art and space.
