Gallery Hijinks Artist: Ryan Riss

Textures, zombies, ooze, cartoons, text, rap, naked bits, and the future are transformed onto paper using black ink.  The intensity of black and white create a particular feeling- their super simplicity lacking of color adapts and takes figurative functions to a an abstract level.   Liberal doses of textured cartoon comic psychedelic repetition are added.   Simplicity of a graphic broken down into elements is related to things like mandalas and other spiritual energy hippie training tee-pee type stuff.    Lots of little details, the details complete the drafted production.
