Larry Doyle: Multifaceted Artist and Tacocat Member

larryAs promised, I am continuing to interview the artists of TACOCAT Cooperative as it celebrates it’s one year anniversary.  I have already featured Christopher Burk, Lisa McLymont, Adam Brouilette and now it is Larry Doyle‘s turn!

I first saw Larry’s work during an open studio event at TACOCAT but eventually met him when the co-op celebrated their first year.  Last Friday, I went to the studio with my girl doggie, Aroon and we had a face-to face with him to learn more about him, his art, his band and the co-op.

Larry is a Columbus native having grown up in Hilliard where he took high school art classes from Dan Gerdeman…”an amazing artist and on of my favorite people.  During his brief and unsuccessful college career, Larry took a few art classes.  His only ‘training’ has been from learning from the artists he is surrounded by.  He states that the year at the co-op has afforded him the ability to watch, listen and grow from  the artists sharing space there.  Besides that, it is a social outlet and lots of fun!20140926_134836
Initially, he created his work at Junctionview Studios but when the Grandview Yard project began, Junctionview closed it’s doors and the builiding was demolished for a parking lot (yikes!)  Fortunately for Larry and the other artists who share the space at TACOCAT, Adam B. and others found their current location after much negotiation with the developers NRI. They asked Larry to move with them…Larry said it was pretty much of a no brainer as he loves the chemistry of the members, what they are creating and the way in which they inspire him.

Inquiries for work and additional information may be sent to the gallery.

About the artists:
Kaitlin’s art is a multi-layered process and incorporates the use of many media. After moving from New Zealand to her current home Melbourne in 2002, she has had solo exhibitions in Melbourne, exhibited in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and America and her works have been collected throughout the world.

For those who know him best, Zombienose is a gentle and kind character, secretly optimistic. It is said that his work offers endless comfort among the souls that are never quite sane in the night. Hailing from the depths of nowhere he derives inspiration from the unloved, the hopeless, the dreamless, disenchanted, dispossessed, and neglected.
