Ryan Martin lives and works in the Bay Area where he attended the California College of the Arts. Through painting and drawing, Ryan creates surreal, dream-like compositions of his subjects. He is influenced by his Native American (Mexican/Yaqui) and Russian heritage through painting reinterpretations of war bonnets and kokoshniks haloing his subjects. Martin's artwork has been highlighted by numerous media including The Advocate, Creative Boom, The Art of Man and others. He has exhibited widely across the United States, including SCOPE & Untitled Art in Miami. His exhibitions include three solo shows at Mark Wolfe Contemporary Art in SF and two solo shows at Elizabeth Houston NYC.
