Self-taught and trained, Peter Doyle is an Irish artist who has previously lived and worked in London and Paris. His work is characterised by a naïve bravery and primarily employs acrylic on canvas. Soft pastel tones and intricate patterns form the backdrop of most of his compositions, which are enriched by recurring motifs of women, horses, and flowers. Through these elements, Doyle reinvents still life with a charming intimacy.

Describing his approach as ‘casual’, Peter’s paintings are instantly recognisable for their immediate and definitive mark-making. He honed his artistic skills through graffiti rather than traditional art school training, which lends his work a courageous and expressive style that feels liberated and stands in refreshing contrast to the more conventional techniques of art school graduates.

His work presents an eerily captivating collection of provocative compositions. Some pieces capture snapshots from his travels abroad, while others feature friends set against distorted Dublin motifs. Additionally, his paintings reflect intriguing stories and characters that resonate with him, offering a glimpse into his unique perspective.
