Key feature you've missed: any control you're trying to add to the form, should be also added to form's Controls collection, otherwise it will not be displayed by form.

So just add Controls.Add(tile[i]); at the end of your loop.

Here you are, you should add control to control collection of the form:

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
        {
            tile[i] = new Label();
            tile[i].Height = 200;
            tile[i].Width = 100;
            tile[i].Left = (i % 3) * 100;
            tile[i].Top = i * 200;
            tile[i].BackColor = Color.Black;
            tile[i].Visible = true;
            Controls.Add(tile[i]);
        }
    }

Hope this helps.
