Fine Art With The Finest Collectors In Mind

Featured Artist

Colie Ryan

oil

After an unsuccessful quest to find a gotta-have-it piece of artwork for a big wall, I bought oil paints on a whim to give it a whirl myself.  I loved the result, and I’ve been painting ever since.  From the jump, I looked at a blank canvas as simultaneously intimidating and freeing, much like deciding how best to go about living life.  Life, nor painting, works out perfectly all the time, but when it does, it has been because I found the heart of why behind my choices. 

My small-town central Louisiana roots and subsequent life adventures in various locales are evident in my work.  My engineering career has afforded me the opportunity to live in and get to know different cities, and I have come full circle to make a home with my family, back in the city I love the most, Philadelphia.

The engineer in me appreciates sharp lines, shapes and dimensions.  The artist in me goes bold, using palette knives to add chunky pops of bright, clashing colors.  I like oils because the paint has heft and shine.  I am inspired to fill blank walls everywhere with life and color!

In 1999 he began his professional artistic career with Arelis Díaz as project director. His painting evolved, through the metaphor of the house of the mind, conceptual art (Duchamp), and the expanded concept of art (Beuys), from lyrical abstraction (in oil and acrylic), towards a work of cultural art with his Ideo Art Factory (Warhol) with which he managed to change the educational system in relation to the question “What is art?” (Kosuth and Pollock). He impacted 4,620 students in Caracas between 1999 and 2014 when he was forced into exile. In the Netherlands, another 300 students attended the same programs. In 2019 he was chosen by the US to enter the country. Until today He is painting and exhibiting this process. He has various painting awards and national and international recognitions.
