Ryan Callanan

Ryan’s work originally rose to fame through his involvement with the street art scene under the pseudonym RYCA. Over the last three years, however, he has developed an ever-increasing presence and reputation creating prints and graphics under his own name. Through combining words and images from popular culture, with the materials and techniques traditionally associated with pub signs, he creates nostalgic, playful images that are both accessible and highly technically accomplished.

Ryan has been announced as BritWeek's inaugural  Visual Artist of the Year
