Dan Pyle
Dan Pyle is a charcoal artist rapidly emerging into the current art scene. His recent shows in Los Angeles
have opened doors & gained him much acclaim for his distinctive style & compositions.
Working exclusively in charcoal, Dan uses a photo realistic style that mimics photography to the point that
extra signage has to be displayed with his work, touting that these are drawings, not photos. He loves shadows,
contrast, anonymity & using negative space in his compositions. His gifted eye catches timeless“fragments”
of life in his work
whether it’s the intricate lines of the human hand, or the delicate folds of a garment, they are drawn in detailed simplicity. The mystery of his work lets the viewer use their imagination to interpret the meaning behind each beautiful image. With virtually no formal art training, Dan has been drawing since childhood. Throughout the years, he has displayed his work in local art shows, accepted commissions for residences, restaurants and private collectors, and his work has been selected for the cover of a local publication. More recently, he has been a featured artist in the annual Walk of Art & Design in West Hollywood, for the past several years. His work can also be seen in several public spaces around West Hollywood.
