RYAN BECK
222gallery is pleased to present recent work from painter Ryan Beck. This is his first solo exhibition and Los Angeles debut. Emerging from a tradition of graffiti and street art, Ryan's work transcends the category, with saturated explosions of color sharing space with elegant calligraphic elements. Suggesting the figure, his work maintains a rigorous commitment to abstraction.
Ryan Beck lives and works in Philadelphia. He obtained a BFA in Painting from Temple University, and has exhibited in Philadelphia and New York City. Learn more at http://www.ryanbeckart.com/
