Ryan Mosley (b. 1980)

‘Holding everything together is Mosley’s antiquated palette, a blend of sludgy greens and browns, the cream of faded paper, burnt orange and black that takes you right back to the muddied colours of medieval icons. Motifs sing out: comedy cactus-men and suggestive vegetation stand erect, adding to the undercurrent of frenzy and erotic menace; skulls – those timeless reminders that life is short – are another favourite.’
