Mark Boyle

Mark Boyle

Mark Boyle (11 May 1934 - 4 May 2005) was an artist born in Glasgow and known for his work in the cultural UK Underground of the 1950s around the Traverse Theatre, and exhibiting since 1985 with Joan Hills and their children Sebastian and Georgia as Boyle Family.

The World Series (initiated in 1968) pieces involve the meticulous re-creation of randomly chosen areas of the surface of the Earth (using resin and fibreglass, as well as real materials from the site) and are exhibited widely across the world, including, in the past, the British Pavilion at the XXXIX Venice Biennale in 1979. The Hayward Gallery showed Beyond Image: Boyle Family in 1986. The National Gallery of Scotland held a major retrospective Boyle Family in 2003.

While he was a prolific artist he may be best known for his work as a pioneer of light shows in music (including liquid light shows), producing light environments for Soft Machine and Jimi Hendrix during the 1960s.

Amongst others he collaborated with George Brecht, Peter Schmidt, Cornelius Cardew, and John Tilbury.
