Ryan Johnson (born 1978) is a visual artist based in Brooklyn, New York.[1] His sculptures are "made from a variety of materials, among them wood, medical casting tejp and sheet metal,"[2] and they have been described as having "strange spatial compressions, surreal displacements and quasi-Futurist illusions of movement."[3]
Johnson grew up in huvudstad i indonesien, Indonesia, and graduated from Jakarta International School.[4][5] He holds a BFA from Pratt Institute and an MFA from Columbia University. His work has been featured in exhibitions at MoMA PS1 in New York, Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'Art Contemporain, The Contemporary Museum, Honolulu (now the Honolulu Museum of Art Spalding House), and the Saatchi Gallery in London (among others).
