Bio
Kyle Vincent Singer was born in Tacoma, Washington, in 1990.
He graduated from Eastern Illinois University with a Bachelor of Arts in 2013 and a Master’s in Studio Art in 2014. He received his Master of Fine Arts in 2018 with a focus in Drawing at Colorado State University, where he was the recipient of the CSU Highest Achievement in Visual Arts in 2017.
Artist Statement
Kyle Vincent Singer describes his art as “Candy Coated Abjection” and “Metabolic.” He uses art to process and cope with overstimulation and consumer culture. Singer digests everyday materials to manifest unique sculptural forms. These forms often reflect an unconventional blend of biological and cultural iconography, always maintaining a sense of the importance of material and process. Singer’s works are characterized by vibrant neon growths, rich textures, and striking sensual qualities. Through exploring the interplay between themes of contrast, Singer invites his audience to experience the tension between opposites—like attraction and repulsion, or beauty and disgust.
There is an undeniable psychedelic nature to Singer’s sculptures, which turn everyday materials and industrial processes into neon fungal assemblages suggestive of organs from an alien world or artifacts from an alternate timeline. While biological references in his art are inevitable, the work is ultimately about process, play, and exploration. Geological processes take form through regular accumulative actions over time, and in the same way, by working regularly—little by little—accumulating and layering vibrant colors, polyvinyl drips, and synthetic chemical foam growths, the artist holds space for artistic discovery.
By nature of the artist’s role in the process—through sourcing found objects and materials as well as through playful interaction in the studio—Singer’s sculptures contain metabolic and psychic energy related to the body and its role in consumerism. While the end result is somewhere between nature and culture, either way it's organic.
