Rob Ryan work: in-depth analysis





"WE HAD EVERYTHING"






This is 'We had everything' by Rob Ryan, a graphic designer, who makes thin and delicate paper cut outs with pictorial images and his own typographical font style. He make his work for exhibitions and his design books. He usually makes  images depicting love images with a fantasy feel, like this piece, with nature surrounding the two lover figures, which shows that all the two people need is each other. The nature surrounding them shows the beauty of their relationship, and the red paper used for the cut out displays passion. I like this piece as their is a lot to take in on piece, but it also displays a sense of mayhem around the figures. The piece could be suggesting through past tense is that the lovers had everything, but there was two much chaos and confusion around them, which makes me sad. I prefer Rob Ryan's other piece 'This is for You', where a man figure is showing a bold declaration of love. Like 'This is for You', Rob Ryan has gone into amazing detain and painstakingly cut it out, even trying to go into symmetry, to show to couple had near perfection and a lot of work had gone on to make their relationship work and beautiful.
