Robert Ryan loves paper…though we can't say for sure if he likes to read things on it, but we know he likes to take sharp objects to it in the name of art. The London based artist specializes in slicing up pieces of paper to create one-of-a-kind images that one might describe as playful, visceral and dynamic all at the same time. While Ryan's favorite material to work with is paper, he also transfers his creations to a variety of mediums, including screen prints, textiles, ceramics, or laser cutting. He's got quite the collection available of arresting work available at his misterrob Etsy shop. Our favorite is this hand-printed, hand-fired piece that asks the question, ‘Why Are You So Naughty?’ and answers ‘Because I'm So Happy.’ Does that make us naughty or happy for finding Rob Ryan's work?
