Artist’s Statement

Bio 2025 - Kyle Jardine:

Kyle Jardine ( BA live performance & licentiate musical theatre ) has a discernibly quirky and playful style, exploring a world that encompasses joyful, innocent & queer themes.

Drawing from his experience in stage performance, drag culture and his queer identity, Jardine constructs a beautifully wild, weird and fantastical safe space to immerse oneself in.

His interior scenes stem from his background in story telling where characters, scenes & motifs come to life. Jardine also references architectural influences from his appreciation of heritage & history. His works are confessions of mysterious encounters . The decor, detail & furnishings allude to the peculiar lives of people we want to know.

His use of colour throughout his work, along with characters, print & patterns flow from brush to canvas with ease, highlighting his influence from the world of fashion, costume design & all things theatrical. Inspired to seek out the joyous moments in life, there is an ease in soaking up his creations.
