We’re thrilled to announce that Hype Boss client, Kyle Lucks, has been named the Artist in Residence for the upcoming "Wish You Were Here" grand exhibition, by the Historical Society of Palm Beach County. Link to full press release below:

As an artist who’s built a reputation for capturing the essence, energy, and legacy of athletes, musicians, and cultural icons, Kyle is the perfect choice to bring the vibrant history of Palm Beach County to life through his unique artistic lens.

Kyle’s work is renowned for its dynamic storytelling, where every brushstroke carries the spirit and narrative of his subject. His portraits, which blend the boldness of abstract expressionism with the meticulous precision of traditional portraiture, are influenced by movements like impressionism and pop art. This combination results in high-energy compositions that evoke deep emotional responses from viewers—whether it’s goosebumps or a wave of nostalgia.

One of the hallmarks of Kyle’s process is his signature "spot varnish" technique, which introduces a semi-invisible layer of typography into each piece. This thoughtful detail encourages viewers to physically engage with his work, inviting them to explore a deeper connection with the story each portrait tells. It’s this innovative approach that has made Kyle a sought-after artist in the worlds of sports, entertainment, and cultural art.

As Artist in Residence, Kyle will create new pieces inspired by the rich cultural history of Palm Beach County, blending his contemporary style with the stories that have shaped the area. His upcoming works will be a highlight of the "Wish You Were Here" exhibition, offering a fresh, modern take on the region’s past while celebrating its enduring influence on Florida’s cultural landscape.

At Hype Boss, we couldn’t be more proud to support Kyle’s artistic journey. Stay tuned for more updates as we share behind-the-scenes insights into his creative process, and be sure to visit the "Wish You Were Here" exhibition to experience Kyle’s transformative work firsthand.
