Ryan C. Doyle
Chaos
Doyles’ artwork can be described as huge, massive, loud, dangerous, and thought provoking. At 6ft 6inches and 264pounds his stature is intimidating and his smile is guaranteed to pull the audience into his multi layered artworks where they can physically manipulate and interact with his sculptures.
