Me and My Wife

Ryan Jara’s 8th Solo Exhibition entitles “Me and My Wife” is an intimate reflection of his relationship with his wife at home. Seven (7) canvases pose the walls as a testament of his commitment to their relationship, stating that through every decision or significant life event, it remains a choice to be with each other through it all. Ryan merges features from both him and his partner to create hyperrealistic hodgepodges reminiscent of his signature portrait style. From beady eyes, pourus skin, to specks of hair, Ryan’s mastery of rendering weaves creatures that initially appear beastly in appearance but thoroughly human in nature, mirroring feelings from within that could only be expresses through the detailing of his appendages.
