Artist

  • Wayne Youle
suite.co.nz

'Wayne Youle is a shrewd social commentator whose subversive, often humorous art defies categorisation. He works across many disciplines and engages with a variety of themes, from popular culture to cultural stereotypes and Māori/Pakeha relationships.

The simple forms of Youle's crisp, deftly made artworks often belie their complex underpinnings. His new works in It's Not You, It's Me are playful arrangements of laser cut, powder-coated, aluminium shapes.

Drawing from a variety of influences including other artists (the work Bloom recalls Andy Warhol's Flowers), the body of work incorporates cultural symbols ranging from the sacred to the mundane.'
