About The Artwork

In this series of photographs, I was documenting what was left behind after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990. This series of photos were taken on the island of Failaka, off the coast of Kuwait City. This little town was abandoned on Failaka Island after the invasion of Iraq. The reason why I selected the title "After the Evasion" was that Iraq left all their military equipment when they lost their stronghold. Since the war, nothing has been done about the destruction. When you visit, you feel as if you are in a time capsule. It has an eerie feel to it, as if you are walking through a museum of destruction.

Ryan McLay born in 1977 in Leduc, Canada is currently based in Santiago, Chile. For his art practice, he is primarily a photographer, but he also explores other art mediums such as digital media, video, and sculpture. Ryan McLay received his formal training focusing on sculpture from the Alberta University of Arts (formerly Alberta College of Art & Design) in 2002 which he received his "Bachelor's of Fine Arts". With no formal training in photography, he was exposed to many photographers while studying. Photographers that greatly impacted how he sees the world are fellow Canadians such as Edward Burtynsky, Fred Herzog, and Jeff Wall. Looking outside Canada he admired such photographers as Andreas Gursky, David Hockney, Cindy Sherman, and Magnum group. This in turn shaped his photography practice by focusing on themes such as urban decay, postmodernism, and industrial featurelessness as his backdrop. From 2007 to the present he has lived outside of Canada. His life abroad started with South Korea, followed by Australia, Kuwait, Costa Rica, Qatar, and now his current location Chile. Ryan McLay has exhibited both in Canada and abroad. In group shows he have exhibited at “La Casa Cultural Heredia Alfredo Gonzales Flores, in Heredia, Costa Rica. “FADA Los Angeles Art Show 2010”, in the USA, and “Peace Project” at Bupyeoung History Museum, in Bupyeoung, South Korea. He also exhibited a solo show in Seoul, South Korea.
