Oli Ryan
2021
Oli Ryan is an artist, composer and performer based in Dublin. His sculptural work includes objects and instruments that respond to situations and context, as well as inviting viewer participation using metal, wood, glass, electronics and mixed media outcomes. He has written music for film, theatre and circus, often creating unique sound processes to do so, and has worked with video and performance in experimental music and expanded cinema contexts in Ireland and abroad, both within and outside the gallery environment. Much of his work reflects on the irreverence and absurdity of life through humour and/or grim existentialism.
