Paul Ryan has been featured in an artist video profile by Sean O'Brien. We are invited to the artist's house and studio in Thirroul to see where he draws his inspiration from, his working process and some of the themes his art is concerned with. This wonderful short feature manages to capture Paul's honest approach to creation as being strongly influenced by a sense of place and time. The dynamic nature of the escarpment of the Illawarra Coast, music, a love of surfing, Australia's colonial history and the qualities of the paint he uses to create his images, these elements all? shape Paul's practise and his identity as an artist. You can watch the video below.
