Kyle completed his BA in Fine Art at the Atlantic Technological University, Sligo in 2024. He is a visual artist working in Fine Art and sculpture. He has developed his own unique and quirky animated style of drawing. Kyle illustrates buildings and structures in an animated way as he likes to distort images and exaggerate them. He uses a mixture of different mediums such as acrylics, inks, alcohol pens and pencils.
Recently, Kyle has explored recreating a drawing of his titled “Midnight Diner” in a 3D art from. He has created a humorous nostalgic world of wonder using recycled cardboard, styrofoam, wood, paper and acrylic paints. The earthy browns and the warm naturalist palette of colours create a calming world away from our turbulent reality. This large-scale comic book scene of a futuristic world has its own language which Kyle has created. This world has its own little creatures. This heightened comic world offers young and old an escape from our troubles and tough times to a lighter animated side of life. Kyle hopes that his art helps develop our imagination to look to the world beyond. Kyles creative imagination has led him to develop his own world.
