Ryan McGinness Interview from "The Run Up"

"There is a constant dialogue between me and the surfaces."
-Ryan McGinness

Ryan McGinness is interested in creating a new vocabulary for everyday symbols and icons through context and composition. Using layering, repetition, and juxtaposition, his complex pieces construct “worlds within worlds.” With his massively intricate silk-screened paintings, sculptures, and installations, he’s able to blur the division between design, pop culture, and fine art. Ryan McGinness’s artwork has appeared in numerous books, magazines, and exhibitions throughout the United States and Europe.
