Lyle Schultz in " Question Period "


Lyle Schultz

artistic background-


graduated 2003 medicine hat college visual communications program
exhibiting since 2001

description of work-

I work in many media including painting, comics, animation, short film, and literature, my work reflects all aspects of my mind, depending on my mood, its best viewed than written about.

living artists-

Terry Gilliam, SAM Kieth, David Cronenberg, David lynch.

no longer living-

William s.Burroughs, Picasso, Van Gogh, Shiele, Munch.....

should art have social/political message?

I think it depends on the artist. The very act of doing art that's true to one self is a social and political act. I am not one that creates or is interested in very political art, well at least not art that crams it down your throat. I believe the true master can get the point across in a more subdued, or even humorous fashion. Like Terry Gilliam for example.

why do I do art?-

at first it was a way out of the work world, i went to art school not because I cared about art, but a way to temporarily escape hell, now its just a way of life, I am controlled by the bastard god "Art" I really have no say in the matter any more. I am bored by most art, and figured I should do something about it, so I have created work that entertains me.
