| bio: |
Ryan
Bubnis' clean yet chaotic style has been described as “urban
folk.” Through his paintings, he comments on themes
relating to the human condition. Vibrant, abstracted shapes
and faces radiate joy and optimism while they float in
and out of rich, multi-layered realms.
Working intuitively he incorporates a range of mediums that include
found objects, paper, wood, canvas, spray paint, acrylics, cel
vinyl, sandpaper, pencil and India ink. He draws inspiration
from life, graffiti, Saturday morning cartoons and outsider art
from a variety of cultures. Bubnis has spent the last several
years developing a respected following among collectors.
Born in California in 1975, he received his BFA in illustration
from the Pacific Northwest College
of Art where he now teaches a professional practices class to
undergraduate students. His work has been shown extensively throughout
the US, UK, Taiwan and Canada. He has been featured in publications
such as Nintendo Power, Clout, Vapors and Juxtapoz magazines.
Some of his clients
include Kidrobot, Nike, PNCA, Imperial Motion, Aleph Zero, The
Portland Mercury, Willamette Week,Seattle Weekly, Hasbro, ABC
and 20th Century Fox. He currently resides in Portland, Oregon.
