Ryan Mendoza Art

American, b. 1971
Ryan Mendoza is the artist behind The White House (2015), The Invitation (2016) and the noteworthy Rosa Parks House Project (2017). Described as a “rarity in the artworld” by author Milan Kundera, Mendoza’s artistic projects and paintings move between expressionism and realism, engaging Americana and historical references. Ryan has shown with a range of European galleries and museums including Massimo Minini (Brescia), White Cube (London), Galerie Lelong and Museo Madre (Naples). In 2015 his intimate artist diary "Tutto è mio" was published by renown Italian publisher Bompiani. Mendoza is guest lecturer at Columbia University, Brown University and RISD School of Design. He lives between Berlin (Germany) and Sicily with his wife Fabia and their son Dylan.

Ryan Mendoza Drawing, Charcoal on Paper, Modern, Signed, 2000

By Ryan Mendoza

Located in Roma, IT

Ryan is a contemporary artwork realized by Ryan Mendoza in 2000. Pencil and charcoal on paper. Hand signed on the lower margin. Provenance: Galleria Massimo Minini, Brescia Born in 1971 in New York, Mendoza's personal story is subsequently intertwined with the two extremes of Europe, Naples and Berlin, the two cities in which he has lived and worked up to now. In his works he represents complex theatricality, models anatomies, doses colours, calibrates lights, draws on a rich archive of memories, confusing ancient pictorial wisdom and contemporary risks. The artist's attention is particularly focused on portraits in which he carries out distortions and alterations: he exhibits perspective disproportions, reveals anatomical dissonances, manifests dystonias between the characters in the foreground and the backgrounds. His characters appear "possessed", it is no coincidence that the title of the 2010 solo show at the Muse d'Arte Contemporanea Donna Regina in Naples is "The possessed...
