About

Catherine Ryan makes colourful abstract cityscapes using found objects and acrylic paint. This process began with her tribute to Dublin; Dublinski made in 2007 when her hometown became energised with multiculturalism and a building boom.

Catherine’s style evolved from a fusion of influences including glass design at the National College of Art and Design, painting, sculpture and street art. In her work, idealised cityscapes create space for every conceivable shape and for all colours. Using objects from paper paraphernalia to mobile phone parts also acts as a record of the material culture of the 21st century.

Catherine’s exhibition history includes the Royal Hibernian Academy, RUA RED and Limerick City Gallery of Art. Her work has travelled to the UK, France and the USA.

In 2020 she joined the online artists’ collective Nua Collective.ie. She is also a member of international artists Walk Bye.
Currently she is represented by Duke Street Gallery and The Copperhouse Gallery in Dublin
