KYLE SVEN — ABOUT

Kyle’s work is heavily influenced by his personal relationship with gender and sexual identity. Exploring themes of masculinity, vulnerability and the human form. Creating bold, graphic and often provocative imagery that introduce the viewer into an alternate world. His practice has a strong focus on creating surreal, imaginative and conceptual perspectives from real world narratives. Using creative lighting, colour and in camera techniques in dramatic, unconventional ways with the goal of reimagining our human existence. Subverting gender roles and challenging the status quo, Kyle’s images always expand the imagination and expectations of beauty.

In 2022 Kyle was selected by the Royal Hibernian Academy as part of their Annual Exhibition. Later that year he also presented his solo exhibition, Altered States. In 2024, Kyle made his directorial debut with Dear Friend, an experimental short film. His work has been featured in Image Magazine, Stellar, Schön, Pap, Totally Dublin, Kaltblut and Slippage Magazine. Kyle also has a growing body of work commissioned from the commercial sector, producing campaign imagery for Champion Europe, Max Mara, Sosu Cosmetics, Brown Thomas Arnotts, TBWA\Ireland and The Tenth Man.
