Phillip Pyle, II is a visual artist, graphic designer, and photographer whose work engages with issues of race and popular culture through the visual lens of graphic design. Informed by symbols drawn from commercial advertising, sports culture, the hip-hop industry, and archival images, Pyle questions inherited perceptions and traditional values through color and form. Often reflecting an irreverent sense of humor, Pyle’s work invites viewers to imagine and work towards a more just and peaceful future.

(b. 1980, Houston, TX) received an MFA in photography and digital media from the University of Houston and a BFA in graphic design from the Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design. His work has been exhibited at numerous institutions, including the Blaffer Art Museum, The 606 (Chicago) Bentway (Toronto) Contemporary Art Museum Houston, Project Row Houses, the High Line (New Yorn), Houston Museum of African American Culture, DiverseWorks, Lawndale Art Center, Houston, and Art League Houston, among others. Pyle lives and works in Houston.
