Rectangles in Grey n1

Exploration of color, balance, and time with pigment paint on natural canvas. The current series by Ryan Alexandre Snow, titled Shapes Gradient, explores the realms of visual space, time, and balance through monochromatic shapes of color on natural canvas. With a seamless blend of abstract minimalism and organic textures, each painting invites viewers on a reflective journey of inner peace. Within this meditative series, Ryan masterfully orchestrates the interplay of minimal repeating elements, balancing form and layering, color and gradient. Through his intuitive brushstrokes, he captures the fluidity of motion, creating a suspended sense of time where past, present, and future converge. In making, there was an environmental focus on source materials including making his own paint from earth pigments collected near and far including foraged ochres from the mountains of Ojai to traditional indigos from Japan.
