This was my first purchase. |
Rob Ryan is an artist, based in England and is quite well known for his intricate paper-cuts. He was really one of the first well known and established paper-cut artists, before paper-cutting became incredibly popular.
He lives and works in Spitalfields, London, where you can visit him in his shop named Ryantown. Two years ago on my trip to England, I missed an exhibition of his and contemporary British craft artists. I was literally a day late and was kicking myself to the point of bruising! I even went to Spitalfields to find his shop later and got distracted by a huge street market.
One day I hope to own an original but it is out of my price range at the moment )-:
My 3rd Acquisition ... his little story book. |
Well I did manage to visit a gallery/shop that represented him and managed to buy some lazar cut cards. You can check out Castor & Pollux here. It's a really cool little shop...
My camera died before I could photograph them for you! |
Oh, to eat off of them or hang them on the wall - decisions, decisions! |
