AURORA MEANDER

It is from my studio on Darug land, on the fringe of the Wollemi National Park that I can witness a landscape constantly in flux, studying the constant changes in light, temperature and atmosphere.

From the hot, hazy days of summer that bring unabating downpours of rain to the relentless, bone-chilling winds during the winter. Living surrounded by a landscape of towering gums and flowering gardens allows a sort of hyper-focus. I can acutely watch the season as they shift. This body of work, painted over an entire year acts almost like a journal. Twelve months of memories, from the big and the small, all recorded in paint. From simple everyday moments that often go completely unnoticed, like a fog or a puff of smoke to catastrophic events like flood and drought.

The early morning and the late afternoon are particularly important. There is a short period during the last moments of dusk when the sky lights up brilliantly. The sun falls behind the mountains to the west, shooting out its final rays, creating an otherworldly glow.

Dan Kyle, 2024

DAN KYLE 'Aurora Meander'

From his studio and garden on Darug land, on the fringe of the Wollemi National Park, Dan Kyle observes the changes in the landscape on an immediate daily basis. Fluctuations in light, temperature and season filter through his palette. Following severe drought in 2019 the property narrowly escaped the Gospers Mountain fire, a part of the bushfires that ravaged the Blue Mountains. And within months after the fire, the exposed landscape faced major rain with the rivers below flooding.

The recent major environmental extremes and shifts have pushed Kyle’s painting and process to expand in response. Paper daisies were prolific after the fires, preferring the disturbed ground to grow and spread. Flowers of the fringes, the paper daisies mark the zone between humans and the wilderness. This invasive, yet beautiful flower impressed itself upon the landscape, and compelled Kyle to print it and other found flowers and plants repeatedly, meditatively.

Kyle’s practice extends out of the studio, planting, caring for and then harvesting many flowers from plants like Camellia Japonica and Dahlia for printing. Observing the new characters emerging in the bush and in his garden, Kyle’s paintings are records of the seasons. After the rains waterfalls stream through entwined with an abundance of flowers and colours. In a quickly changing landscape, the micro and macro jostle and compete to impress themselves onto the seemingly-infinite space of the country around him.

Dan Kyle is a graduate of the National Art School in Sydney. He is a 2020 Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship recipient. He is a three-time finalist of the Paddington Art Prize (2019, 2015, 2012 – Highly Commended), the NSW Parliament Plein Air Painting Prize (2016 - highly commended), the Salon des Refuses at S.H. Ervin Gallery (2013), the Hawkesbury Art Prize (2011) and the Mosman Art Prize (2019, 2014). His work has been exhibited throughout Australia in numerous solo and group shows and is held in the collection of the Australian Catholic University, the Macquarie University and many private collections nationally.

DAN KYLE, A RECIPIENT IN THE 2020 BRETT WHITELEY SCHOLARSHIP

For the first time in its 22 year history, the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship has been awarded to five artists, one of whom is Dan Kyle.

Congratulations Charlie Ingemar Harding (Victoria), Emily Grace Imeson (NSW), Dan Kyle (NSW), Lily Platts (NSW) and Georgia Spain (Tasmania).

Art Gallery of New South Wales Director, Michael Brand, said that in one of the most challenging years the arts community has ever experienced he’s delighted that the Scholarship could be awarded, albeit in a different format.

‘That the Scholarship this year is shared between five artists instead of a single artist speaks to the moment we’re in, where we all need to work together and find new ways of thinking for the benefit of our community.

‘The Scholarship remains a prestigious, national painting award and I welcome all five recipients to the Brett Whiteley Travelling Art Scholarship alumni who have, like Brett Whiteley before them, had their worlds open up as a result of being offered this opportunity to spend time creating work in a new location,’ Brand said.

DAN KYLE FEATURED IN ARTIST PROFILE MAGAZINE

In 2015 Owen Craven wrote about Dan Kyle, his studio and life in the bush near the Blue Mountains —

Soon after graduating from the National Art School, Dan Kyle set up home deep within the Australian bush at the foot of the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. His paintings are translations of what he sees – the beauty, the unique forms, the colours – but also his way of reducing the density of the bush to a more approachable landscape for him to keep exploring. Back in Issue 32, 2015, Artist Profile chatted to Dan about the formal and conceptual nuances of his landscapes.

DAN KYLE / THE PLANTHUNTER

Dan Kyle has been featured on the Planthunter, who visited Dan at his spectacular home and studio in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney.

The Planthunter is an online magazine devoted to celebrating plants and the varied ways humans interact with them. Plants have been inspiring, feeding, sustaining and soothing humans for aeons. The Planthunter documents and celebrates these connections. 

'The rusted metal entrance gate rolls open revealing a four-meter-tall man with a gas mask staring at us from amongst the trees. A collection of huge sculptures lay scattered around him – the scene creates quite an entry statement, heightening my curiosity about the man we’ve headed up to the mountains to meet, artist Dan Kyle.'
