Ryan Joseph McGinness (born January 9, 1972[1]) is an American artist, living and working in Manhattan, New York.

Known for his original extensive vocabulary of graphic drawings which use the visual language of public signage, corporate logos, and contemporary iconography, McGinness creates paintings, sculptures, and environments.

McGinness is interested in assuming the power of this anonymous aesthetic in order to share personal expressions.
