Ryan Doyle
I make associations freely, and at times, recklessly. Pulling
clumsy metaphors from horror films, science fiction, and
sports, I apply them to a loose personal mythology and
symbolic language. I often begin a painting by first making a
dimensional paper model. The symbolically coded scenes take
place in shallow staged spaces. While creating these spaces,
I am thinking about a reconstruction or collapsing of personal
narrative, history, and myth.
