Frank Ryan- “Figure in a Tunnel” from Liminal View at Walter Maciel Gallery

From the press release:

In Liminal View, Ryan draws inspiration from a broader scope of the greater Los Angeles landscape accumulating an eclectic grouping of diaristic observations through the use of drawing, digital still and video images that serve as source material for his paintings. Ryan minimizes the expression of banality by laying the groundwork for an experience of the uncanny. In these moments, familiar subjects are perceived as foreign in the same way that a word will suddenly sound strange. Ryan explores how this inversion allows access to an existence beyond the visible order.

Really interesting paintings by this Los Angeles based artist, including two of the Second Street tunnel. The show is up until 12/21.
