Using the principles of graphic design, painter and silk screen printer Ryan McGinness creates room-filled installations that are dense with iconography, language and product symbolism. Corporate logos, graffiti and elements of art history serve as inspiration for the artist's prints, vinyl decals, wall murals and commercial objects. Currently the artist is featured in a group exhibition titled "The World is Round" at MetroTech Center in Brooklyn, N.Y., and later this year he will exhibit "A Rich Fantasy Life" with Quint Contemporary Art in La Jolla, California. McGinness has worked as a Curatorial Assistant at the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh and appeared in the Upper Playground artist interview video "The Run Up." Art in America reviewed the artist in 2005, and Rizzoli Publishing released a Book titled "Installation View" the same year.
