Ryan Orme

Ryan Orme is a London-based artist who works across sculpture and painting to find a conduit between internal and external worlds. Moving intuitively between the personal and the situational, place relationality is explored through process and material.

“My work explores the relationship between internal and external landscapes, and the role geographies have in shaping who we are.  I like to use place as a way of exploring something personal and relational. I often come back to a feeling of scale, or distance; how we fit into a much larger picture. I think I use art as a means of reconciling things I find confusing, such as how we as individuals can belong to something as vast and intangible as a culture. I have an intuitive approach to making that leads me through a range of processes, and subject matter, I hope to make work that is as much felt as it is understood. "
