Master draughtsman Matt Coyle is well known for his skillful use of black pen on white paper. In 2014 Coyle is introducing a bold new element into his work – colour. With this turn his subjects take on a new charge, rich and seductive, yet still hauntingly sinister.
In his upcoming solo exhibition Warm Blooded Playthings, Coyle will present a new series of meticulous drawings. The works, created between 2013-2014 begin the artist’s flirtation with tinting and shading, with hues and saturation. The result is a heightened sense of drama, where hyper-real and menacing subjects bestow upon the work a palpable tension.
Matt Coyle was born in 1971 and grew up in Canberra, Australia. After a short stint at Sydney College of the Arts, Sydney, Coyle turned his attention to drawing and has mostly been working within the medium of pen and ink ever since. He has held solo exhibitions across Australia, been included in numerous local and international curated exhibitions and had his work collected by Queensland Art Gallery/ Gallery of Modern Art (QAG/GOMA) and Art and Australia. Matt Coyle is represented in Victoria by Anna Pappas Gallery and in Tasmania by Bett Gallery.
