ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Lyles are two-dimensional wooden (MDF) smiling monsters. Some are solitary, but most prefer to move in herds from 10-50, and can grow up to 8ft tall. Wherever they go they tend to make people smile and feel a bit better about the world. I began making Lyles in 2015, initially just because I found him so sympathetic. These days Lyle hasn’t changed, but the world seems to be mutating at a dizzying rate. Now he serves as more than a watcher, still smiling but no longer passive. Lyle is a guardian of humanity - here to remind us that decency still exists, but needs to be protected. Sizes: Range from 6 inches to 8 ft. Price varies accordingly. The small versions make great traveling companions, and the website dedicated to their global sightings is here

Ralph Lazar chronicles his own life and the world around him. He contemporaneously documents current affairs by creating art in real-time as the news unfolds, and combines this with a stream-of-consciousness self-expression inspired by people, words, music and travel. His work has been showcased at Art Miami (Context), The LA Art Show, Art Palm Springs and Art Market San Francisco amongst others. In January and February 2020, his artwork appeared on 1,700 digital screens across New York City. Recurring themes through his work are current affairs, race relations, Civil Rights, US Presidential history, the US Supreme Court and the US Constitution.
