Ryan Campbell
Ryan Campbell (1981, Los Angeles, California) is an accomplished painter and muralist. He garnered technical skills for painting early on in his years while creating murals on and around the Southern California landscape through participation in the graffiti culture of the 1990s and early 2000s. He refers to his practice as investigations in geometric abstraction, minimalism, and hard-edge painting. His Line Segments series is evidence of this description with their groupings of hard-edged layered bands of color that intertwine in abstract and geometric patterns.
Campbell's work and practice are inspired by acclaimed artists LeWitt, Martin, Stella, Soto, and Phillip K Smith III. Campbell was recently commissioned to create a large-scale Line Segments mural for the City of Palm Springs directly adjacent to the Palm Springs Art Museum. Corporate commissions include AEG World's Goldenvoice, Pernod Ricard, Red Bull North America, Covered California, and Branded Arts. Campbell's works are in several important American collections, including the MacMillan collection, and private collections around the world. Campbell works and lives within the scenic backdrop of the Santa Rosa Mountains near Palm Springs, California
