Ryan Oskin
Ryan Oskin investigates natural and constructed spaces through photography, sculpture, and installation. He recently had two solo shows at the Java Project and The Eagle in Brooklyn, NY that featured work both inside and outdoors. His work has been shown throughout the United States at Aperture Foundation (NYC), Johalla Project (CHI), Press Street (NOLA), Newspace Center for Photography (PDX), and underneath the 6th Street Bridge (LA). He recently completed a year-long residency at ARTHA Project in 2016. He graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Photography in 2012. He currently lives in Brooklyn, N.Y.
The two works on view are part of Ryan Oskin's body of work Under Construction. In this body of work, Ryan Oskin documents New York City's changing residential and industrial areas. These images act as a catalyst for works that incorporate industrial, commercial, and photographic materials. He conflates his photographic practice with a layman’s knowledge of marking and building to construct new sculptural objects.
