Ryan Cullen’s (*1992 in Boston, USA) practice draws on a variety of cultural and material sources, focusing on the production of images and objects that reflect elements of larger political and ideological structures. In a process where painting and sculpture often intersect, the artist creates works that mirror Western society’s tendencies toward self-destruction. Cullen studied at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main and at Cooper Union in New York. His work has been shown in solo and group exhibitions, including at Briefing Room, Brussels; The Meeting, New York; CLEARING, Brooklyn; Etablissement d'en Face, Brussels; Nassauischer Kunstverein, Wiesbaden; and Portikus, Frankfurt am Main.
