Portrait Sculptures, Sculpting Instruction & Marble Sculptures by Philippe Faraut

William Pye | Water Sculpture Language casts a shadow in Stephen Doyle’s paper sculptures Stephen Doyle’s vision unites words and images in unforgettable ways. The design firm of which he is a principal, Doyle Partners in New York, creates acclaimed identities and all means of conveying them (and he always gets the colors right). He’s also recognized for his visual contributions to the Op-Ed page of The New York Times. Q What motivates you to do this work? I make these things as an escape from the world of problem-solving. Q How did you start doing this work? I studied painting, sculpture and design at Cooper Union. The idea was to make fun of hypertext on a computer — how a line will lead from here to there, thereby changing the context of every other line. Q Is this purely personal work, or is some of it done on assignment? Sometimes it’s commissioned, which is ironic, because as I said, I want to ask questions instead of being expected to provide answers. Q Why work with paper and books? Books are where ideas come from. Q Many of the pieces look fragile.
