55 SHARON RYAN

Orchid 21, 2005
acrylic on paper, 22" x 30"

“ Ryan’s line has a siren’s song quality to it--seductive, elusive, utterly graceful. It curls and flows lithely, sinuously,” said Leah Ollman (Art in America), “Ryan reinvests the private doodle with intimacy, eroticism and the fluid yearnings of the unconscious.” Ryan has exhibited her work in numerous group and solo exhibitions at galleries including Sandroni/Rey Gallery, Los Angeles; Remba Gallery, Los Angeles; and Peter Blake Gallery, Laguna Beach. Of Ryan’s work, art critic Christopher Knight has said, “[she] seems intent on splitting the difference between what’s natural and what’s man-made; the result emphasizes that art is inescapably both.” (Los Angeles Times) Her work has garnered further critical acclaim from art journals and press including Art in America, Art Issues, and The Orange County Register.
