Andy Ryan’s abstract watercolors contain both absurdist humor and references to mysticism and spirituality. In his paintings, surreal landscapes, ghostly figures, and botanical forms emerge from overlapping shapes and gradient color-fields. His work draws from a variety of influences, from modernism to folk art, comics, craft and design. Ryan’s undulating forms are built with colorful layers of paint, each varying in density, creating movement and visual symmetry within each piece.
