Art Practice.

The working approach adopted by Kyle Hughes-Odgers encompasses a range of mediums – primarily muted, earthy and warm acrylics on wood finished with luscious gloss coats, ink and watercolour on paper and large scale public art murals with aerosol. In doing so he covers a wide artistic spectrum visualizing the use of raw materials, conceptualizing and developing final art works.

The works are based on the culture of a new life, exploring ceremony, tradition and an unknown spiritual co-existence. Kyle mixes differences in global cultures into an environment where new ceremonies and traditions are developed and shown as a unique undiscovered world. Themes of life, death and survival are depicted through cities and characters, and highly detailed paint and inkwork build up the layers of the melancholy folk ‘new world’.

His previous works since 2005 were predominantly street based until recently as he has moved into gallery spaces in Australia and overseas. His street art has been seen in cities such as London, New York, Barcelona, Berlin, Melbourne and Sydney. His publication credits include Empty, King Brown, Relative and Wooden Toy magazine. He has also had street work featured on web sites such as Wooster Collective, WeAreTheImageMakers, and Ekosystem.

Kyle Hughes-Odgers studio is currently based in Perth, Australia.
