Ryan McGinness

Ryan McGinness is an American artist, living and working in New York. Known for his extensive vocabulary of original graphic drawings that use the visual language of public signage, corporate logos, and contemporary symbology, McGinness is credited with elevating the status of the icon to fine art through the creation of his paintings, sculptures, installations, and books.

Based on the concept of finding art in unexpected places, this piece takes advantage of the beautiful expanses of smooth white ceiling spaces at Fashion District. Reminiscent of Michelangelo’s ceiling murals, this installation is based on the concept of circle “portals” that visually punch through the ceiling and take you into another world.
