Ryan contemporary paintings combine a strong sense of imagination and atmosphere. Talking about his paintings Ryan says: 'I work at night, I work 'til dawn. I find the solitude in the art work and there are no distractions at night. I don't work from life, I work from my imagination. The execution of a painting may only take a couple of weeks but coming up with the concept could take an awful lot longer. Each painting has a parent and a child, they are all chain reactions'.
Robert Ryan paintings depict a universal landscape where generic creatures (as if in limbo) wander in search of sanctuary like lost souls.
