Interview

What is your favourite film of all time?

Very hard to say, Mean Streets or Midnight Run.

Rush

Which living artists do you most admire and why?

Julian Opie and David Downton, they always produce great work.

Which deceased artist do you most admire and why?

Hopper.

Which exhibition that you have visited made the greatest impact on you and why?

Chihuly at the Gagosian because of the impact of the glass work and the colours are amazing.

What is the question you get asked most frequently about your work and how do you answer it?

Is my work related to Pop Art. In some levels it is because of the style of painting, but my themes from series to series can change.

Nothing or nobody did, as far as I can remember.

Can you tell us about where you make your art and what if any the significance of this location is?

 

I always work at home, it's more relaxed.

Freedom of time.

Mainly dealing with great galleries in London and New York.

What are your plans for the coming year?

Artist's statement

Emma Coyle has been exhibiting regularly since graduating with a B.A degree in Fine art from the National College of Art, Dublin Ireland, in 2003. She has been in a number of exhibitions in Europe and America, and has exhibited alongside artists such as Jeff Koons, Yoko Ono, Ed Ruscha and Kiki Smith.

 

While living in Dublin Ireland Coyle exhibited in the Tramyard gallery, the Oisin gallery, exhibited for the Irish National Portrait exhibition in 2005, and exhibited for charities in the Royal Hibernian Academy and Adam’s Fine Art auctioneers.

 

Before moving to London in 2006 Coyle had solo exhibitions in the Signal art centre in Co. Wicklow and the Bank of Irelands art centre in Dublin city, and was said to be ‘one of the cities most promising new artist’ {Metro Life news paper- January 2006}, and a ‘rising young artist’ {Irish Independent- May 2006}.

Since moving to London, Coyle has exhibited in numerous galleries and art fairs throughout the city, including a solo show in the West End. Her work has appeared in The Sunday Time STYLE supplement, and she has also continually contributed art work to charity events.

 

While exhibiting in London, Coyle has expanded her audience by exhibiting in Los Angeles, and in several galleries in New York City, where her work has been positively received.
