Kyle Kogut (b. 1990 Philadelphia, PA) is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in drawing and sculpture. Raised a devout Roman Catholic and the son of an auto mechanic, Kogut's work uses the symbols of Occultism and Christianity, the visual culture of the Late Medieval and Northern Renaissance, and the ubiquitous iconography of brand logos to explore the politics of American zealotry, myth, and despair.
Kogut graduated with an MFA from the Mount Royal School of Art multidisciplinary program at MICA in 2016. He received his BFA from Tyler School of Art in 2012. His work has been included in group shows nationally and has had solo and two person exhibitions in Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, College Park MD, Detroit, Richmond, New York, City, and Wilmington NC. Kogut was a member of FJORD in Philadelphia, attended residencies at the Summer Studio Program at the Anderson at VCU in 2019 and the Summer Residency Program at the Wassaic Project in 2022. He currently resides in Norfolk, VA serving as a Lecturer of Drawing and Foundations at Old Dominion University.
