==Works==

Beginning in 1973 Tylicki sends sheets of canvas or paper into the [[wind]], the [[river]]s or the [[forest]]s, and leaves them for a long while in a natural environment, thus forcing upon Nature an attitude previously reserved to the artist: the creation of forms.
In the years 1974 - 1990 he initiates the idea of an anonymous artist by issuing a periodical called "Anonymous Artists" where artists present their artworks without revealing their own names.

In 1985 he created an [[Installation art|Installation]] called Chicken Art. Tylicki transformed the [[Now Gallery]] in [[Manhattan]] to a hen house in which live chickens watched realistic paintings of chickens, chicks and roosters hanging on the gallery walls. He declared at the same time: "For the chicken the most beautiful is chicken." Art critic L. Brogowski described it as: 'a reaction to the overexploitation of the beauty of the human body'.

Another installation was the "Free Art", where well known, invited artists, like [[Mark Kostabi]], [[Rodney Greenblat]] among others, gave away their artworks to the public for free.

[[Video art|Video]] and [[Photography]] plays an important role in his work as a record of its elusiveness and transience.
