Ryan Syrell gathers inspiration for his synesthetic impressions from memories that amplify subtle exchanges in everyday life. Minor instances such as identifying flowers, sharing meals, hearing an ecstatic chorus of blackbirds, or caring for plants inform his work and highlight the value and connectivity of these special in-between moments. Syrell’s compositions investigate the spaces between language and sensation, between object and connotation, in essence disrupting expected meanings and the absolute, exposing the boundlessness of our surroundings. In his studio practice, Syrell begins with a visceral memory, sensory or visual in nature, layering timelines or developing forms to produce his vibrant, striking compositions.
