ABOUT
Bryan Ricci is a contemporary painter whose work bridges the gap between landscape and abstraction. Born and raised in the Hudson River Valley, Ricci was immersed in the region’s rich painting traditions and natural beauty from an early age. His initial focus on landscape painting gradually evolved into an exploration of abstraction, where he found new possibilities for artistic expression.
Ricci’s work investigates the intersection of abstract mark-making and landscape, using raw pigments and unconventional materials to create compositions that evoke natural environments. By blending gestural techniques with organic forms, he creates visual experiences that can be interpreted as landscapes while maintaining a distinct abstract quality. This approach allows his paintings to convey a sense of depth and movement, balancing the familiar with the unknown.
Since earning his MFA from Otis College of Art and Design in 2012, Ricci has continued to develop his practice, exhibiting his work in galleries across the United States and internationally. He remains committed to creating art that invites viewers to engage directly, experiencing the vibrancy of color and texture in person.
Ricci currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
