Ryan Wallace (artist)
Ryan Wallace (born 1977 in New York City) is a multi-media artist living and working in New York City. He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from Rhode Island School of Design in 1999. Wallace’s paintings, works on paper, installations and sculptures have been exhibited in galleries, museums and institutions across North America and Europe. He currently lives and works in Brooklyn, and Amagansett, New York.
Ryan Wallace's atmospheric works evoke meditative qualities that fluctuate between angst and serenity. Embracing ambiguity with a simultaneous sense of assembly and disintegration, his multi-faceted practice cultivates a sense of surface, texture and tone. Wallace's works act as visual solutions to his own curiosities and meditations on systematic themes. He is currently represented by Cooper Cole Gallery in Toronto.
