Warner’s compositions honor the legacies and experiences of generations whose stories and memories are imbued within cloth and photographs, serving as a place of rest and an embrace for the entanglements of these histories.
Cyle Warner is a Caribbean-American multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn. His practice approaches textile as a spatial language, drawing on architectural motifs from domestic Caribbean spaces to explore how memory is formed through movement, touch, and bodily negotiation. Working across woven structures, installations, photography, and works on paper, Warner constructs spatial propositions that treat the built environment as a form of record keeping shaped by use and proximity rather than permanence. He earned a BFA in Photography and Video from the School of Visual Arts (2023) and attended the Yale Norfolk Summer School of Art (2022). Warner is a Van Lier Fellow at Abrons Arts Center (2024–26) and participated in Vermont Studio Center as a fellow (2024, 2025). His work has been exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum (2024), Bronx Museum of the Arts (2026), Welancora Gallery (2022, 2023), Bradley Ertaskiran (2022), Oolite Arts (2022), and Regular Normal (2020, 2021), amongst others.
