Multidisciplinary designer, artist and art director, Ryan Carl, is based in Hudson Valley, New York. His talent culminates in a harmonious synergy. Carl's work is conceptually driven, drawing influence from studies of philosophy & religion, exploring themes of being and interconnectedness, inspired to create works that embody simplicity and clarity.  New Heights and The Grand Scheme of Things hold their own as individual art works as well as complementing one another when placed side by side. Both evoke feelings of contemplation, which is something Carl has consciously achieved by creating a journal meditation as a way of contextualising the concept behind these pieces: feeling small (in a good way) by reflecting on the vastness of nature. These images highlight Ryan’s interest in language and space as well as exploring the study of form, color, pattern and texture. His ability to harness so much clarity and meaning through his use of negative space is a reflection on his conceptual and artistic craftsmanship.
