Covid Nurses on Motorbikes

A typical motorcycle exhibition by Boyle, this time the nurses we respect- nurses on motorbikes taking themselves and supplies to far off COVID zones to fight this pandemic. These brave woman will take on any terrain. There are also policemen and nurses in sidecars travelling to COVID sites to fight the fight.

I have been exhibiting art in Palmerston North and Wellington for many years. The paintings are oil on canvas and have a folksy, illustrative feel. My themes are very escapist /surreal- much action, boys and girls adventure pics -women on large motorbikes and sidecars, jungle action, animals and famous characters. The bolted books are just that-books bolted shut for censorship reasons. The “Pourings” are sculptures on a plinth of books with paint poured over them.

I like to entertain people with the whimsy of fun paintings, sculptures from recycled objects and the terrible books that are closed to the reader. I paint for my own personal escapism and to offer the door to days of romance and adventure to others. I like to stick to themes- British policemen, nuns, Alice in Wonderland but I always return to women on large motorcycles and the jungle adventures because they delight me personally. Sometimes mothers buy them for them for their children and they tell me the kids take them with them when they leave home. The thought someone grew up with one of my pictures and still liked it as a teenager is very rewarding.
