Ryan Oliver

Ryan Oliver's works are collage. His current practice examines the visual language of high fashion/lifestyle periodicals: the beauty/perfection constant scrutinized, cut from the original context and juxtaposed with strenuous misalliance.
Other works facilitate dialogue between the innuendo laden visual language of fashion imagery with pornography by exchanging the implicit for the explicit.
New works confront fashion's covenant of eternal youth; tumorous flesh, death and grief are imposed as rebuttal.
