May Gallery Walk

Big Opening Night for Ryan Lane at the Eye On Art Gallery as we sold several of his new works. Ryan is in the middle talking to Greg and Mary Huebner. Greg was his teacher at Wabash College. Greg and I were at SIU at the same time completing our MFAs.

Ryan Lane

The current paintings by Ryan incorporate many of the same tools and materials used in the furniture making process and give his paintings a very unique texture and depth. The paintings have both spontaneous  and craftsmen like qualities which give his work a undeniable vibrancy.

Artist Statement;

"I am interested in painting horizons or borders and hope to capture the mystery of an approaching event.  Whether the impression is foreboding or optimistic is entirely to be determined by the viewer."

The works of Ryan Lane are a mystery of the mixed media process. Ryan, paints, sprays, scratches, glazes and a few guarded techniques to create a rich surface loaded with visual interest. His use of color contrasts are vibrant as the textures dance along the horizon.
