Ryan Mosley (b. 1980, UK) trained at the University of Huddersfield and Royal College of Art. Motivated by a sense of the carnivalesque, Mosley’s canvases offer up a surreal world of invented characters and rituals that are simultaneously archaic and futuristic. He has had significant solo and group shows in galleries internationally and his work is part of the Arts Council Collection, UK; the Saatchi Collection, London; and Falckenberg Collection, Hamburg.
