Ryan Everson

Bio

Ryan Everson is a painter and educator whose work arises from long walks and urban photography. His practice investigates how cities age and evolve, tracing surface decay, layered graffiti, and the shifting presence of typography and architecture.

He works in oil, employing a grisaille underpainting beneath glazed layers to build rich, detailed surfaces. Often using a magnifying glass for fine detail, his paintings reveal the quiet inscriptions of time in urban spaces.

Ryan studied at Central Saint Martins and Birmingham School of Art, and is a member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists. His work has appeared in the Royal Academy Summer Show, the RBSA exhibitions, Tarpey Gallery Open, and more.
