Description:
'Strawberry Pi'“ is part of my very popular 'Pun' Series and has become a sub series aptly names the 'Pi' Series. In this series I use the symbol for the mathematical symbol for 'Pi' as a double-entendre for the dessert. If you look very carefully, the pi symbols can be seen in place of the seeds of the strawberry.
From my "Series of Pun Paintings". In his 'pun paintings' I deconstructs the English language by use of the pun. I was once told “it isn’t what you paint, but how you paint it.” I became bound and determined to prove that statement wrong. In my work, it is not only about what he paints but the way in which it is painted. My ‘Pun Paintings’ appeal to him personally for the humorous aspect and the witty form of intellectual play. Collectors of Ryan's work have expressed how much they love living with his work, every time they see it, it makes them happy and smile and ready for whatever activity is next on the agenda.
