ROB RYAN - Colette
ROB RYAN, du 3 au 22 Février Rob Ryan est né en 1962 à Akrotiri, sur l'île de Chypre. Il a étudié les Beaux Arts au Trent Polytechnic et au Royal College of Art de Londres où il s'est spécialisé dans les techniques d'impressions. Depuis 2002 il utilise essentiellement du papier découpé comme medium. Son travail minitieux de découpe s'adapte très rapidement à la sérigraphie, puis se transpose sur la céramique, les tissus, les découpes au laser et toutes sortes de surfaces. Son travail montre souvent des figures fantasques associées à des scènettes sentimentales, sérieuses, déclaratives ou humouristiques dont les textes sont parfois autobiographiques. Rob Ryan a collaboré avec Paul Smith, Liberty of London, Tatty Devine et Vogue en autres. Ses oeuvres ont fait l'objet d'expositions comme "The Stras All day Too" à la London's Air Gallery et "Your Job to take this world apart and put it back together again…but even better!" qui présentait des oeuvres en céramique et en papier découpé à la Shire Hall Gallery Stafford. La Charleston Gallery a récément dédié une exposition à ses céramiques. Rob Ryan a écrit et illustré 3 livres, "This Is For You" "A Sky Full Of Kindness", "The Invisible Kingdom" et a illustré "The Gift" . Il vit et travaille à Londres. Rob Ryan was born in 1962 in Akrotiri, Cyprus. He studied Fine Art at Trent Polytechnic and at the Royal College of Art, London where he specialised in Printmaking. Since 2002 he has been working principally within the paper cutting medium. Although he views himself first and always as a fine artist his intricate papercut work adapts itself readily to screenprinting which can be easily transferred to ceramics, fabrics, lasercutting and other surfaces. He has collaborated with Paul Smith, Liberty of London, Tatty Devine and Vogue along with many other established companies. His work, often consisting of whimsical figures paired with sentimental, grave, honest and occasionally humorous pieces of writing he readily admits are autobiographical. Exhibitions have included "The Stars Shine All Day Too" at London's Air Gallery on Dover Street, "Your Job is to take this world apart and put it back together again.... but even better!" - an exhibition of papercuts and ceramics at The Shire Hall Gallery Stafford - and recently an exhibition of ceramics at The Charleston Gallery. He has written and illustrated three books, 'This Is For You", "A Sky Full Of Kindness", "The Invisible Kingdom" and illustrated "The Gift". He lives and works in London UK.
