Ryan Wallace
Ryan Wallace (1977) recycles and deconstructs studio materials and paintings to build his works, in a continuous generative cycle. His paintings are composed with the worn surfaces of vinyl screens, tarps, metallic tape, tiles, rubber and torn pieces of canvas. The use of reflective materials causes visual changes to the paintings depending on their light source. The exhibition includes collaged works as well as Pitch paintings consisting of tiles that had a previous life as molds for sculptures and floor installations.
