(minor deet change) HIM.
So I have altered the content of the exhibition, so instead of portraits of other people, this shit is all about me now.
Hence the title change:
Him
@the gallery on waymouth
June 5th - June 29th
Ryan's second solo exhibition, a series of self portraits in varying styles, exploring the inner monologue of the artist and the concept of being removed from one's self.
When you paint yourself or people around you, they are seen from a new aspect, I am no longer 'me' I become 'him'.
An exploration of self from a third person perspective.

Him & Them
Tuesday July 5th @ 6.pm
GALLERY ON WAYMOUTH!
As an artist when painting yourself and those around you they become subject matter, they are removed and your view is from a new perspective. Being the third person, it is no longer 'me' and 'us', you become 'him' and 'them'.

Expressionist/Impressionist
Here I am really focusing on working with this technique and focusing on portraits and other figurative work.
I will be doing more in this style, but for this series I have decided to add a halo around most of my figures...
I think it harks back to that fascination with old school religious iconography, the simplicity of it, and the way a simple circle around the head can add this new layer of meaning; grandeur, spiritualism, divinity???
Anyway Ill let you make up your own minds about the pieces... Enjoy!

Connections/ Sculptural & Photographic Project 1
This is an experimental project combining my sculptural instalation with photography.
I am creating the sculptures and LISA SHEPHERD * lisashepherd.tumblr.com * is doing the photography (check out her Tumblr, girl has mad skills with the camera.)
The aim of this project is similar to my 'lines' series: To make tangible the connections that we have to each other and our environment. In this project I am representing these connections using the sculptures and the black tape.
The heavy sculptures and black tape in an industrial setting are commenting on the way in which our relationships can be tortuous, or even torturous. We can be hindered by our connections, forced to act in unnatural ways to our own instincts.
The photos which we have taken outside, without the black tape, are a way of viewing the same themes but in a more positive light.
These photos I'm posting are only preliminary drafts, so watch out because there will be much more to come as we explore this idea.
Ps. We are hoping, (if all goes to plan) to have this exhibited at Paper String Plastic gallery on Hindley street. (probably next year sometime)
