Ryan Gander: But it was all green

Ryan Gander’s work——comprised of installations, objects, illustrated novels, and manipulated situations——creates tentative and profound connections between seemingly unrelated things. Playing deftly with the powers of perspective, exaggeration, and decontextualization, Gander takes seemingly trivial or tangential objects and illuminates their inherent meanings and associations. His earlier pieces have featured elusive and non-elusive protagonists, such as the artist Spencer Anthony, love interest Marie Aurore, as well as a wooden chock, and a leatherette cover. Through his varied pieces, Gander brings together the keenly observed and the elegantly imagined, continually expanding the vocabulary and possibilities of artistic discourse. Ryan Gander works and lives in London.
