This week on Lex Talk Design, Renee is joined by Kyle Hughes-Odgers - an acclaimed Australian artist whose work spans painting, illustration, publishing, and large-scale public murals across the globe. Based in Perth, Kyle has built a distinctive visual language that explores the relationship between people, nature, and place through bold geometric forms and stylised figurative imagery.

Since his first solo exhibition in 2009, Kyle’s work has travelled far beyond Australia, with exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, the Netherlands, Spain, Singapore and Berlin. Alongside his gallery practice, he has created more than 50 public commission works worldwide, bringing art into everyday spaces on an impressive scale.

In this episode, Renee and Kyle talk about building a creative career over time, the realities behind making art professionally, balancing studio practice with large public projects, and how to keep evolving while staying true to your style.

A thoughtful and inspiring conversation for creatives, founders, designers, and anyone curious about what it really takes to make a life in the arts.

  • Kyle’s path from early exhibitions to international recognition
  • Developing a signature artistic style
  • The crossover between art, design, and public space
