Kyle Willis – An interesting artist

Kyle Willis is an artist based in Florida. He creates some interesting drawings and collage artworks.

I know about him because I saw on the internet (9gag maybe) these 2 cool collage artworks (Darth Vader and Darth Maul – dunno who the last one is, but seems cool :D):

These collages were made by sticking tiny little pieces cut up pages of comic books. I think they are really impressive because:

  • Even though a lot of this type of art is somehow kitschy, these 2 are definitely not. They are inspired and the work is carefully done and the colors blend really well in the mosaic and also they are eye-catching.
  • It is fresh. I mean, come on people. We live in the 21 Century. So many artists have been trying to be “new” and “avant-garde” in the past 100 years that now I feel that almost everything is dried up. I like to see this kind of art: fresh, true, sincere. It really shows that it comes from within. It’s not “fake”.

I also like his sense of humor.

He bought this painting from the flea market and added some funny stuff.

He creates a variety of visual art. For instance, there is this cool watercolor named “Pickle Rick meets LL COOL J”. Although I am not a Rick and Morty fan, I do appreciate the cool background of the picture. I love the sky and the trees.

Also, here is a photo from one of his customers. I really like how he hanged the collages on the wall. The living room seems pretty nice.

If you’d like to see more of his work, check out Kyle Willis’s website.

    I was painting live just now and one of the viewers told me they discovered me because of this article of yours. I can’t thank you enough for taking the time to write about my work. I hope 2023 is off to a rockin’ start for you. Cheers!
