Cut Paper Work of Robert Ryan



More colors do not necessarily mean greater artwork. Take the work of British artist, Robert Ryan who does elaborate paper cuts and screenprints. Some of his best work is entirely one color. In fact I think his work suffers when he uses more than one color as the strength of it is the silouetted design work. Ryan has received great recognition for developing a specialized trademark style. He is a designer and an illustrator combined - and he understands how to playfully integrate text into his works. He has received acclaim for this paper cut style and continues doing book and magazine illustration, fashion, window display and even product design.
