Untitled, James Ryan
The straight line is a human construction, yet human nature and natural forces dictate that the absolute is unattainable. Taking my influence from Modernist practices as well as architecture and the man-made environment, I create 3D painted spaces. Through the overlaying of abstracted plains, I aim to create an image that references architectural structures, and goes some way to describe the physical and emotional climate found within the man-made environment, often one of dynamics, flux and degeneration.
