ARTIST BIO
Ryan Alexandre Snow is an abstract minimalist artist whose painting work explores the balance of peaceful mind inspired by nature, color, symmetry and resonance. His current body of work consists of organic shapes of color overlapping on raw canvas in perfect spacial harmony within the frame creating a feeling of zen. With a focus on the total resonance of each piece his practice has evolved to include foraging nature for earth pigment to make his own natural paints, and collecting unique rare pigments from around the globe. Ryan graduated with a Bachelor of Fine Arts from U.C. Santa Cruz and was honored with the Irwin Scholarship award. His studio practice continues to evolve from the hills of Ojai California through exploration of color, shape, repetition and materials, being featured in both solo and group exhibitions throughout the US and abroad.
ARTIST STATEMENT
“By stripping away the unnecessary and focusing on the essential, minimalism combined with attention to source allows me to explore the beauty and power of color and balance. Through my work, I strive to create a sense of peace and harmony, while exploring the relationship between form and space. By using minimal elements, I aim to create a sense of clarity and focus, allowing the viewer to experience the healing calmness of color, repetition, and space created from the intention of peace and inspiration”
