Bane Gallery is pleased to present our San Francisco Inaugural Exhibition LATCHKEY, a new body of work by artist David Lyle. This new series of paintings by Lyle is based from his memories of growing up in "The Latchkey Generation" of the 1970's and 80"s.
Lyle continues his painstakingly reductive process which is a very crucial element to the evolution of his final image. Each painting is crafted using only black oil paint and turpentine. Lyle begins his process by priming a wood panel with white gesso. He then paints a thin, rich, oily black veneer over the primed panel, slowly and systematically developing his images by removing some of the black paint with a cloth.
In doing so, Lyle renders various values of black paint resulting in his signature-style of luminescent monochromatic works.
David Lyle attended the University of California at Santa Barbara's College of Creative Studies. His work has been exhibited in New York, Miami, Austin, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Laguna Beach CA and in Paris France, London England, and Tokyo Japan. He has been featured in publications such as New York Magazine, Modern Painter, New American Paintings, American Artist, Hi-Fructose, Proximity Magazine, and Coast Magazine. This is David Lyle's second exhibition with Bane Gallery. The artist now lives and works in San Francisco, California.
