Tim Doyle’s “UnReal Estate” series has been an ongoing fan favorite for some time now and on February 6th through the 22nd, he will reveal all new art as part of his third solo show with Spoke Art.
Here is the official press release for the event from Spoke Art:
Inspired by the popular culture landscape, quite literally, Doyle re-interprets the iconic settings found in contemporary cult television. These places, though fictional, have become a part of the universal psyche, ingrained in the minds of cartoon and serialized television fans worldwide. The prevalence in contemporary culture of this medium, especially with the excesses of the internet, have transformed fictional characters and scenes into something so close to tangible that they’re immediately recognizable even when viewed through an alternate lens.
The artist begins first with a graphite drawing on board, which is scanned and colored digitally. From there, Doyle hand prints a run of limited edition serigraphs (screen prints) which he creates entirely in-house. As an artist known not just for his illustrative talents but also as a craftsman, Doyle’s screen prints often utilize masterful techniques such as split fountains and glow in the dark inks.
Since it’s debut in 2011, the “UnReal Estate” series has been a massive success, with both back to back shows selling out in full. For the third installment in the ongoing survey, Doyle has created all new interpretations of locations from both classic and contemporary television, revisiting popular shows and breaking new ground with more topical and current series.
Limited edition prints will be available first to attendees of the February 6th opening reception, with remaining copies available online starting Friday, February 7th.
This is just a taste of Tim’s 11 new prints but I’m sure it has whet your appetite to see more. Follow Tim Doyle on TWITTER to stay on top of his awesomeness and follow Spoke Art on Twitter to find out when their next big event is coming to take all your money much like this show will surely do.
