Duane Doyle - My Bike

Duane Doyle

My Bike 

2022

acrylic gloss

30H x 30W cm

When I remember my bike, I recall that I found my freedom from the hustles and bustles of that life gave me. Whilst painting the image of my bike, I had to 'palm off' all those memories of times when I wasn’t able to feel a youthful strength and happiness.

About Duane Doyle

Duane Doyle is a Jiman man (Yimen) from Taroom and Carnarvon Gorge country. He identifies with his Mother’s totem, the googoobing (scrub turkey). Googoobing waters flow through the Browns and Comet Rivers in the Highlands of Central Queensland.

Duane strives to implement the power of Dadirri meditation in his artwork and lifestyle, deeply listening to country and its people of all origins. His paintings often come about as an expression of the emotions that mark both positive and traumatic experiences in his lifetime. He generates symbolism in a contemporary way that draws from the traditional techniques passed on to him over a lifetime of painting. Duane is a proud painter with West End Community House and a predominant part of the West End landscape, via his work as an arts and cultural educator. His artworks are featured in People's Park West End.
