Ryan Crotty (b. 1977, Auburn, Nebraska) Highlighting visual evidence of the canvas support structure, surface imperfections and materiality, the artist uses translucent paint to generate an interplay of light and color that challenges visual interpretation of a two-dimensional surface. Crotty is often described as an up and coming artist to watch. His paintings, with an inexplicable illusion of spatial depth, appear to emit light.
