All Things Considered

Rob Ryan
Posted by Simon Lewin

It was a genuine pleasure meeting papercut artist and printmaker Robert Ryan earlier in 2007. Our visit to his London studio was inspirational.

And we're delighted that we'll be exhibiting his work at the gallery.

Born in Cyprus in 1962, Robert Ryan is a paper-cut artist, printmaker (Rob has an an MA in printmaking from the Royal College of Art) and illustrator, working for a range of clients including Vogue, Paul Smith and a number of book publishers.

All of Robert's work is the result of painstaking hand-cutting of delicate papers. These intricate works are either sold in the papercut form or developed as limited edition screenprints.

The story-telling that is present in much of Robert's work is perfectly illustrated by his recent book, 'This Is For You', the dreamy tale of a man who has lost his place in the world who takes a magical papercut journey of rediscovery.

You can view a selection of Rob's work at the gallery.
