Cordy Ryman

Ryman’s early works were emotion based figurative sculptures but within his first year at art school he began to experiment with abstract representations.

[2][3] Ryman's artwork is fabricated with recycled wood and metal painted and reconstructed with sculptural elements, mimicking the traditional canvas in their display.

[2] The materials Ryman uses include wood, gorilla glue, scrap metals, studio sweepings, acrylic and enamel paints and other found objects.

[4] He sometimes combines mostly mute colors-white, silver, and creamy oranges- with small touches of bright hues on the edges and seams of his work.

[7] When Ryman creates work on a larger scale the pieces interact with unique properties of the installation space.
