Kyle McGhee

Discipline:

Multidisciplinary Artist

Location:

Renfrew / Glasgow, Scotland.

ABOUT:

Kyle McGhee's studio practice, sitting between painting and sculpture, acts in response to the cyclical process of constant reconstruction and regeneration of the urban landscape. Drawing heavily on Glasgow's history of constant change he questions and reflects its temporality in manipulating sculptural objects, leaving them always under construction. Building plans, aerial mapping, instructional drawing and cheap industrial materials form cornerstone references in his work, repeating and fragmenting as the forms are found to be always in progress, subject to change or simply unresolvable.

There may be no permanent composition and everything present could shift, reform or completely disappear. The past has been obscured to bring forth the present, which reminds us, time and time again, the state of the provisional city.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
