Ryan Mc Ginness.

Hailing from the surf and skate culture of Virginia Beach, Ryan McGinness arrived on the New York scene with raucous and refreshing graphic drawings that exhibited contemporary iconography. Copious colors and valiant forms overlap to create a combustion of representation and abstraction in a complex and chaotic composition. McGinness has forged the way in illustrative, elucidatory, multifaceted landscapes that force the viewer to contemplate the role of society in high art in rather unexpected ways.
