About The Artwork

Photographer Ryan Chesla’s project “Observations” is an intimate and poignant examination of what motivates him visually throughout his day-to-day adventures. Influenced by the mundane and ultimately inspired by what is often ignored, Chesla presents a snapshot of what he believes society takes for granted. Chesla’s goal for “Observations” is to prompt viewers to slow down, take a moment to absorb all that surrounds them, and truly appreciate the beauty, humor, and simplicity that inundates us on a daily basis. Chesla's photograph, "The Bay Bridge, Since 1936" was shot in the Embarcodero, on the western waterfront of San Francisco, California in March of 2018. Printed on archival paper, this 5"x7" black and white photograph is delivered matted to 11"x14" dimensions, is signed and titled, and is delivered with a letter of authentication. All Observation images are matted and delivered unframed.

Ryan Chesla (°1971, Munich, Germany) makes photos, sculptures and mixed media artworks. By taking daily life as subject matter while commenting on the everyday aesthetic of middle class values, Chesla seduces the viewer into a world of ongoing equilibrium and the interval that articulates the stream of daily events. Moments are depicted that only exist to punctuate the human drama in order to clarify our existence and to find poetic meaning in everyday life. His photos establish a link between the landscape’s reality and that imagined by its conceiver. These works focus on concrete questions that determine our existence. By emphasizing aesthetics, he often creates work using creative game tactics, but these are never permissive. Play is a serious matter: during the game, different rules apply than in everyday life and even everyday objects undergo transubstantiation. His works are characterized by the use of everyday objects in an atmosphere of middleclass mentality in which recognition plays an important role. By exploring the concept of landscape in a nostalgic way, he investigates the dynamics of landscape, including the manipulation of its effects and the limits of spectacle based on our assumptions of what landscape means to us. Rather than presenting a factual reality, an illusion is fabricated to conjure the realms of our imagination. His works sometimes radiate a cold and latent alienation and isolation. At times, disconcerting beauty emerges. The inherent visual seductiveness, along with the conciseness of the exhibitions, further complicates the reception of their manifold layers of meaning. Ryan Chesla lives, works, and plays in Palm Springs, California. He earned his master of fine arts degree from Seattle University in 2015.
