TROY DOYLE- Biography
ARTIST STATEMENT:
I was born and raised in Monmouth Illinois. I really don’t remember a time when I was not interested in some type of art. I graduated from the American Academy of Art, in Chicago. While there, I studied both the commercial side of graphic design and advertising along with Fine Art. I have spent several years as a freelance artist, designer, and Art Director, but my passion will always be painting.
My wife has described my work as exaggerated realism. As for me, I simply try to make the composition correct with rich, bold and vivid colors. I enjoy creating a space that allows people to feel as though they can meander through, or actually grab the elements of a still life. I try to capture moments in time - a mood, I want to showcase the beauty in what others see as ordinary. Yet just like life itself that is merely the façade, the true beauty is the stories behind many of these paintings. While painting pieces of architecture I think to myself, “How many people will pass by this and only see an office or an old tired building, when I see someone's passion and craftsmanship that can’t be reproduced today.” Many of my personalized pieces may only look like a still life, but they are actually pieces that represent others’ passions, beliefs or moments in time shared with friends and family. Through creating personalized pieces, people can receive a truly one of a kind piece of art. This process also allows me the opportunity to meet people, who in any other circumstance, I would not meet. I try to take something away from this process that I can apply to my own life. I believe everyone has something to share that we can all learn from. There aren’t many things better in life than creating something others enjoy and appreciate.
They say we dream in black and white...
I think it is time for color.
In my artwork I try to tell the viewer a story or make them see the beauty in the objects they pass every day. I always try to exaggerate the color and create unique compositions, giving the viewer interesting perspectives. When painting architecture, I want others to see the importance of these great structures, and what they could still be instead of what they had once been. The piece I am working on here is of the First National Bank in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Just like in every town in America, there are several pieces of great architecture that should be treasured. Most likely, you will see this piece go into limited edition prints. The original will be available for purchase.
Over the past few years, many of my art commissions have been what I call personalized pieces. With these pieces, people have the opportunity to share their story. I begin by interviewing the client to try to find out who they really are. I want these pieces to go beyond something like placing their name on a bottle of wine or building. I want to share their beliefs, passions and their story. My goal for these personalized pieces is to give my clients a truly unique piece of art - something the whole family can treasure. I want the piece to reflect them. At the same time, I want to be able to take something valuable away from the process that I can apply to my life. To me, my work goes beyond wine. It reflects friendships, moments shared, appreciation ... The Good Life.
