Klaire Doyle is a conceptual artist from Northern England whose practice explores lived experience, abjection, and womanhood through interdisciplinary approaches spanning visual art, film, scenography, and performance.
Klaire is drawn to what slips past conventional narratives, what doesn’t quite fit, what is dismissed and what persists in spite of the neat frames we build.
Rooted in vulnerability and driven by curiosity, Klaire gathers personal and collective narratives, she documents and reimagines them, to confront and challenge everyday phenomena, memory and history.
Klaire documents and reinterprets, then invites you to encounter existence under negotiation. In doing so she hopes to open a space of discourse, discomfort, harmony, confusion, laughter, accountability and recognition that the world is more layered than is seems.
Her works have been nationally and internationally exhibited since 2014, including solo and group shows in New York City, Venice Architecture Biennale, Moscow, Tokyo, Helsinki, Melbourne and TATE Exchange.
When she isn't in the studio, Klaire is an curator and producer. She has developed projects with international artists and organisations such as Lou Miller, Stine Marie Jacobsen, Alicja Biala, Alice Rekab, Amy Claire Mills and Liverpool Biennial. She specialises in producing exhibitions and programmes for contemporary artists connecting with underrepresented communities, such as people in recovery, LGBTQ+, disabled groups, women’s collectives, and schools.
Klaire is also an art educator with focus on experimental methods and creative confidence for audiences. She is co-founder and co-director of TERM School of Art, providing online and in-person Life Drawing, Art History and various art courses for audiences of all ages. TERM was acknowledged by The National Archives and Marsh Awards as a foundation for creativity that welcomes participants of all abilities to develop their practice and embed their understanding of history and creative techniques with freedom to experiment.
