About Ryan Dinwiddy

My art is about exploring the boundaries between painting and photography. Mark-making and colour comes first, and subject matter second. I start my process with a photograph I have previously taken, I then have it printed on to a canvas; I work into the image with paints and sometimes wax to produce a multi-media image. I photograph it as it evolves, which helps me to determine which direction the painting is going.

 

I would describe my work as abstract expressionism. My art is aesthetically challenging where the viewer will have to spend time quantifying their relationship with my art. By this, I mean you should be able to come back to a piece of my art and discover more than you had first noticed.
