Jack Ryan paints atomized street scenes of contemporary urban life. Working in a Neo-Impressionist manner, Ryan’s paintings draw attention to the phenomenology of sight itself, rather than the concrete reality of any singular environment. It is this broad spectrum opticality that affords his work a certain hallucinatory quality, an image disintegrating before our eyes. Ryan draws our attention to the periphery, decentering our gaze and softening focus.
