Lucy Doyle is an artist who is continually inspired by the objects and people who surround her everyday life, and it's this observation of life that makes her artwork a sustainable, intuitive and meaningful way of life. Always sketching in notebooks, Doyle paints and draws from both imagination and still life.  It's these sketches that eventually go on to be the main basis for her works. The painting on exhibition at the Bad Art Gallery represents Doyle's work over the past year. The collection is entitled "Chinoiserie", a loose term to describe the art and artefacts the emerged out of western culture as a direct result of eastern oriental influences, an assimilation of cultures that first evolved about 300 years ago. Doyle naturally identifies with traditional Japanese art and its use of expressive colour and spatial perspective but employs her own personal visual language. Uplifting and harmonious, her use of colour creates a certain 'feel good' factor within her work, something that the viewer will certainly take from her work. Chinoiserie is running at The Bad Art Gallery, Dublin from 18th September to 9th October.
