Alexander RyrieSelected Works TextBioalexryrieartist@gmail.com








  Alexander Ryrie, born 1995, currently making art on Wurundjeri Country in  Naarm/Melbourne.

   I create  installations comprised of painting, sculpture, textile and video. These works are inspired
   by caricature and cartoons, their  exaggeration and energy are  harnssed and used to create
   in different mediums.

   Interested in humans and their idiosyncracies, I make work which reflects humanity’s appearance,
   exploring their thoughts and my thoughts on them.

  Grotesque bodies, bold colours, masks and double chins. Sympathetic heroes,
  forced smiles and funny faces. Melancholic moments, googly eyes and domestic dynamics.
 Whether you are down the pub or looking in the mirror, some of these characters might be
  familiar to you .
