Bryce and Kyle the Giants

Kansas City-based brothers, Bryce and Kyle Holt, make up the art duo The Patrons. Bryce is a narrative artist whose vibrant acrylic on canvas paintings integrate pop art and surrealism, with visuals that recall etchings and engravings. Kyle is the promotional and business side of their art endeavor, working with museums, galleries and collectors to expand their reach.

Before any paint touches the canvas, Bryce and Kyle develop a story behind the paintings, and those stories are a key component to the art they create. Their exhibition Unreliable Narrator just wrapped up at the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art and is scheduled to show at 6 more museums across the US from 2026-2029. They are currently working on their next traveling exhibition, Shh, the Story is Starting.
