Arthur Peña interviews painter Hilary Doyle whose work was recently on view in her solo show Window Facing Inward at Active Space, New York.

Doyle comments: "I see art defined as bringing an idea to life… What is our experience of the 'real' world now that we spend in increasing amount of time on electronic devices? I'll be on a train seeing the most amazing thing out the window and will look around to see if anybody saw it too and they are all plugged in on their iPhones and computers and it seems a little scary to me. So I hope the work encourages people to enjoy looking at things in the real world again with a new sense of vividness and intensity."
