Malcolm Ryan
Now lives and works in Wales but continues to exhibit in East Anglia, most
recently at the Old Fire Engine House
at Ely. He has exhibited widely in the region with his paintings included at the
Fitzwilliam Museum and Kettles Yard in Cambridge, Norwich Castle Museum, the
Minories in Colchester and King's Lynn Art Centre.
In his painting he dwells on the transitory nature of our lives, an awareness
that time is passing, that all that is so familiar will soon vanish. There is
poignancy, yet a sense of celebration too of our lives in his work. That
although this is a time of great changes, we are all concerned with those
eternal human affairs, of birth and death, love and loss, food and shelter.
Those same enduring concerns of all of humanity through the ages. Central to
the ideas behind his paintings is the attempt to match our everyday world with
the eternal. To see the wonder of each moment and to be aware as it passes.
