About:
Ryan Mrozowski's (b.1981, USA) immersive language, which is rooted in visual and linguistic puzzles, frequently uses botanical subjects to explore elements of presence, absence, and perception. Foliage, fruit, and letters become abstracted in Mrozowski’s compositions, as the artist crops and repeats his motifs. The resulting lyrical patterning disrupts the traditional still-life and often reimagines nature with methodical order. Ryan Mrozowzki lives and works between Hudson and in Brooklyn, New York. Mrozowski earned his MFA from Pratt Institute, New York, in 2005, and his BFA from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2003. His work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at international venues including i8 Gallery, Reykjavik; Galerie Nordenhake, Berlin, Stockholm, and Mexico City; Perrotin, Shanghai; Ratio 3, San Francisco; Chapter, New York; Simon Lee Gallery, London; Hannah Hoffman Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; and Arcade, London.
