Artist Ryan McGinness explores outer space, the inner space of the mind and as McGinness puts it, “uber fanciness” in his current collaboration with Incase. He has applied his iconic drawings to Incase’s signature cases and bags. Available today, the Ryan McGinness capsule collection uses Incase products as a vessel for delivering the New York-based artist’s work, with a range that includes a 15” Protective Sleeve, Snap Case for iPhone 4S and Shoulder Bag. Created specifically for Incase, the original artwork featured is part of a larger body of work entitled Black Holes.

The Black Holes series is inspired by “event horizons,” the celestial light show that accompanies the collapse of light and matter into a black hole. Concentric patterns depict the theoretical physics of the universe while simultaneously creating mindscape portals to provoke a psychedelic response from the viewer.

The Ryan McGinness capsule collection is available now at goincase.com.

A couple of days ago Ryan McGinness opened his new exhibition at Michael Kohn Gallery in Los Angeles. The exhibition, entitled ‘Recent Paintings’, shows a new body of work of the fine artist. The series mostly consists of fluo colored paintings in different sizes and shapes.

” McGinness is known for his bold and refreshing paintings and installations that layer contemporary iconography to underscore the artist’s commentary on language, history, and symbolism. Re-imagining our world as a series of graphic icons, McGinness layers and collages these images to create complex and sophisticated paintings that shed light on our contemporary world. Boldly colorful and slick, McGinness deftly merges together digital techniques with more traditional crafts like silk screening and painting. Often likened to Andy Warhol, McGinness has developed a unique visual language to reflect on pop culture and the society in which we live.”

Artist Ryan McGinness recently opened his latest exhibition at Deitch Projects in New York, inside their Wooster Street space. McGinness presents new canvas works, as well as numerous new sculptures, using a lot of fluorescent colors and blacklight to highlight the works. Often compared to Andy Warhol, the artist further develops his visual language and signature, and creates impressive artworks, inspired by his dreams and hallucinations. Via Glltn.

After the recent release No Sin/No Future from Gingko Books, the Ryan McGinness publication trend will continue in February. Works is a book of simple title (and rather long subtitle), focusing on McGinness’ output in sculpture, drawing, painting and sketches. The book includes contributions from some well heeled and well versed scholars and writers – including Peter Halley, director of Graduate Studies in Print and Painting at Yale University. Works will no doubt complement No Sin/No Future, and with 2005’s Installations help to reach a definitive library of the artists output.The book is published by Rizzoli. Get it now from Amazon.
