Matt Coyle

Matt Coyle

Matt Coyle (born 1971) is an Australian artist and graphic novelist living in Hobart, Tasmania.

Born in Nantwich, United Kingdom, Coyle has published two graphic novels, Registry of Death (1996) which he co-authored with Peter Lamb, and Worry Doll (2007) .

Coyle's work has a hyper-reality to it which is achieved with fine-tip black Artline pens. An article in The Telegraph (UK) quotes him as saying; "I draw like this because I love the initial feel of realism, then the unease, or the uncanny feeling that it's not real. I am never bored with drawing like this. Lines are beautiful things, and it's a constant battle for perfection."[1]

Education

He studied painting at Sydney College of the Arts in 1988.

Publications

His debut, Registry of Death, is set in a future in which 'undesirables' can be forcibly eliminated from 'Births, Deaths, and Marriages'—i.e.: killed. One 'Registry Elimination Officer' finds himself on the wrong side of his job—and a gruesome battle to the death is enacted.

His second graphic novel Worry Doll concerns a suitcase full of dolls who stumble across the murdered corpses of their host family, leading them to flee the crime scene and embark on a nightmarish road trip.

He has a third incomplete novel, called, The Trespasser.

Exhibitions

A limited edition of digital prints from "Worry Doll" were exhibited at the Damien Minton Gallery in Redfern, Sydney (21st Feb – 10th Mar) 2007.
