Ryan Browning is a young art professor, who I found to be a very shy public speaker. While talking to the audience about what inspired his art, he truthfully admitted he was nervous. Ryan in his teenage years grew-up playing Dungeon Dragons and vaguely expressed how he was not the most popular kid. He received a degree at Mica in Baltimore, which is the school I was actually going to attend. He then went to graduate school in 2006.
Ryan Browning went through so many faces of deciding what type of art he was interested in, or should I say he dabbled in most of the art fields. He came to the conclusion that he would rather do paintings then digital art. When he first began creating art, digital art is what he created. He chose to switch to another field because digital media was getting old, he was growing as an artist and it was just that time for him to give it up.
What inspired his art was the video game Dungeon and Dragons. He used the world from that game and its spaces, incorporating it into his work. What I saw to be familiar in all of his works was this large, bulldozer rock, which was jagged all around. He manipulated this shape to fit with the landscape of each of his paintings. He really loves to create dream like worlds, which are inspired by his fancy for imagination instead of real life situations.
I personally loved all of his art because it was sort of bold at times (the color scheme), and who does not like dream worlds? Ryan Browning is sort of an illustrator artist, kind of like me. The only difference is that he leans more towards illustrating fantasy’s while I illustrate real life experiences.
