| Dubliner Gary Coyle, born in Dun Laoghaire in 1965, has spent nearly a decade living in London where he graduated at the Royal College of Art. His body of work includes a variety of media such as drawings, film, and photography and is rather reminiscent of his home country: hilly sites and stormed-tossed ocean views. At first glance the artist’s knowledge of past representations of landscapes becomes immediately evident when looking at his latest work ‚Lovely Water’. It‘s not at all like an idealized motive in the Caspar David Friedrich tradition, it is rather a 21st century deconstruction of the pastoral scene with its bleak appeal.artwork „Lovely Water No. 4531“, 2005 C Print, Edition of 5, 97 x 135 cm Courtesy Kevin Kavanagh Gallery contact www.garycoyle.ie Kevin Kavanagh Gallery www.kevinkavanaghgallery.ie |
