Ry fyan - American Concentration Camp
The Proposition Gallery is pleased to present "American Concentration Camp" a series of recent works by New York based artists Dash Snow, Ry Fyan and Nico Dios curated by New York artist Andreis Costa.
Using hybridized drawing, painting, collage, and assemblage, the artists excavate and analyze societal remains from the past and present, both physical and metaphysical. Through this archaeology the work challenges trends and theories of the media mainstream.
The excruciatingly intricate panel works by Ry Fyan discuss a similar irony existing in this new generation of artists. Critical distance from the present stride towards technology and progress, the ascent to the future has many harking back to a familiar era where hand, craft and the maker's identity show through product labels and distortions in media. Invented cityscapes scattered by seemingly discarded everyday products strewn throughout.
With obsessive detail Fyan paints fantasy landscapes using spray paint, enamel and oil. The work is influenced by disaster both natural and man-made, the daily waste of a metropolis is buried within color fields and building structures rendered from preliminary drawings on layered transparency and collage.
