KATHLEEN RYAN

New York- based Kathleen Ryan’s work in sculpture is distinguished by
her virtuosic grasp of materials, ranging from poured concrete, cast
iron, carved marble, and precious stones, to found objects such as
granite machine-mount blocks or bowling balls.

Ryan engages with
formal sculptural concerns such as volume, weight, pressure, balance,
and line, while subtly alluding to the materials’ historical and
economic underpinnings, along with frequent references to the human
body and classical motifs.
