Fans of Ryan’s would call this a departure from the work of his last several shows, swapping his signature animals and limited outdoors landscapes for empty, foreboding […]

The images are mostly portraits and abstract explosion looking pieces done a technique that is strongly influenced by his graffiti background. Due to his signature style, his portraits are much more dynamic & […]
