Ryan Travis Christian Art
American, b. 1983
Ryan Travis Christian is a contemporary American artist best known for his intricate drawings, which often feature humorous and surreal imagery. Born in 1983 in the suburbs of Chicago, Christian was interested in art from a young age, but it wasn't until he discovered drawing that he found his true passion.
Christian's early drawings were heavily influenced by the punk and metal music scenes of the 1990s, as well as underground comics and graffiti art. He began experimenting with different styles and techniques, and soon developed a unique visual language that blended elements of pop culture, surrealism, and abstraction.
After studying art at the Illinois Institute of Art and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Christian moved to Los Angeles in 2009 to pursue his career as an artist. There, he began exhibiting his work in galleries and group shows, and quickly gained a following for his innovative and engaging drawings.
Christian's drawings are often composed of intricate patterns and textures, which he builds up layer by layer using graphite and ink. He is particularly skilled at creating optical illusions and trompe l'oeil effects, which give his work a sense of depth and dimensionality.
In addition to his drawings, Christian has also explored other media, including sculpture, painting, and installation. His sculptural works often incorporate found objects and everyday materials, and are characterized by a playful and irreverent sensibility.
Christian has exhibited his work extensively throughout the United States and internationally, including at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Royal Academy of Arts in London. He has also been featured in numerous publications and media outlets, including Artforum, The New York Times, and The Huffington Post.
Despite his success, Christian remains committed to exploring new ideas and pushing the boundaries of his art. He continues to create innovative and engaging work that challenges viewers' perceptions and expectations, and has established himself as one of the most exciting and dynamic artists working today.to

20-1/4 x 30-1/4 inches
Hand signed, titled and numbered 79/100 by Kerry James Marshall in graphite pencil on the front
Published by Africa House International, Chicago
Unframed
On October 18, 2025, another example of this print sold at public auction for $28,000.
In September, 2025, "Kerry James Marshall: The Histories" opened at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. This major exhibition was the largest presentation of Marshall's work in the United Kingdom and Europe, and featured more than 70 works by the the artist, including a large number of paintings and a selection of prints, drawings and sculptures. Highlights of the show include a new series of paintings that explore the transatlantic slave trade, along with Knowledge and Wonder, a mural commissioned in 1995 by the Chicago Public Library that is the largest painting Marshall has produced. The exhibition at the Royal Academy will then travel to the Kunsthaus Zurich and the Musee d'Art Modern in Paris.
Kerry James Marshall's 2011 "Keeping the Culture" is based upon the artist's eponymous painting done the year earlier, which is featured in the Royal Academy Exhibition. In 2013, an original painting, upon which this work is based, sold at Christie's auction. Below is the Christie's Lot Essay for that painting:
..." Set in a revolutionary apartment in the cosmos, Kerry James Marshall's Keeping the Culture optimistically anticipates a future that pays homage to the past. Ushering in a new stage of the artist's output, Keeping the Culture shifts focus from the failed utopia of urban renewal and the commemoration of civil rights era heroes in favor of a more technically refined meditation on the preservation of the traditional and spiritual values that shaped a culture. Placed in an ultramodern environment, two siblings marvel at a projection of the earth--in which Marshall has aptly positioned the African continent toward the viewer-while their affectionate parents dance in the foreground. Overlooking the milky way, Marshall's space-age flat is decorated with earthly relics-wooden tribal sculptures...
