Mining a Canadian working-class childhood to create art that packs an emotional wallop, Boyle makes disturbingly intense paintings of weird Celtic characters and traumatized children, and transforms mantelpiece porcelain figurines into surreal statements on female sexuality. She’s one of those explorers of the psyche who go where others fear to venture. Don’t miss her new commissioned sculptures at the AGO, solo show at Jessica Bradley Art + Projects in February and recently published monograph, Otherworld Uprising (Conundrum).
