Ryan Crotty (b. 1977, Auburn, NE) is a visual artist and abstract painter based in Auburn, Nebraska. He creates non-representational color field paintings rooted in the process intensive traditions of printmaking. Highlighting visual evidence of the canvas support structure, surface imperfections and materiality, he uses translucent paint to generate an interplay of light and color that challenges visual interpretation of a two-dimensional surface. Crotty earned his BFA in painting from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and his MFA in painting from Syracuse University. He is represented by High Noon Gallery, New York, New York and Galerie Robertson Arès, Montreal, Quebec.
