John Doyle (Canadian artist)

John Doyle (born 1950 in Toronto, Ontario) is a prominent Canadian painter. A 1974 graduate of Fine Arts at York University, he has had solo and group shows in galleries across Canada. Doyle has traveled extensively throughout Canada, capturing the Canadian landscape, from one coast to the other, in paint. He works predominantly in acrylic on canvas, applying paint in an expressive style. Moving, over the course of his career, from subtle to vibrant in his use of colour, his most recent work is notable for its audacious use of colour and bold brush strokes.[1]
