About the Artist:
Kyle Duggan is a self-taught artist working out of his home studio in Saanich, BC. His medium of choice is oils and acrylics, though he occasionally explores pastel and printmaking. With a background in architecture and theatrical scene painting, he brings a unique and compelling perspective to his artwork. His art has garnered widespread recognition, with his pieces finding homes in numerous private collections across North America.
Artist Statement:
My compositions are a reflection of the dynamic and powerful relationship between the ocean and humanity. Living on Vancouver Island, I am constantly inspired by the ever-changing moods and immense scale of the sea. I seek to convey the beauty and force of the ocean, encouraging viewers to contemplate our place within this powerful natural world. Many of my paintings emerge from memories of moments spent by the sea.
I am incredibly grateful to the Victoria Arts Council for providing a platform to share my work and for their ongoing support of local artists. I hope my art resonates with you and prompts a moment of reflection on your own relationship with nature.
