Quintessential Color
March 21 - April 10, 2009

Reception: Thursday March 26, 2009 6-8 PM

Press Release

Ryan draws on his vast experiences as a set designer, video artist and gallery director to create works that overwhelm perspective and space with colorful, kinetic grandeur. His vibrant colors and boisterous lines evoke the vital energy of Wassily Kandinsky and Raoul Duffy tied together with a hint of Cubism’s spatial organization. Meanwhile, Ryan’s trademark curvilinear forms and sensitive use of patterns and repetition give his works a remarkably unique aesthetic. Isolated details like eyes and silhouettes give viewers pause but are quickly re-incorporated into a flowing landscape of interlocked shapes and a latticework of movements.

With these large scale multilayered paintings that are simultaneously delicate and measured, Ryan offers constant change and limitless possibility. His art intimates optimism and energy, relishing bold surfaces before reducing them to backdrops for some new form. This playful approach to palette and perspective creates an inventive, exciting viewing experience from which new forms constantly emerge and new patterns appear. Ryan is a Taiwanese painter he currently resides in Queens, New York.
