Pop Drop @ Hibbleton Gallery

August 8, 2017 in Downtown Fullerton Art Walk

You are cordially invited to the next art exhibit at Hibbleton Gallery, Pop Drop, featuring new prints by Ryan Shane Owen. The opening reception is Friday, September 1st from 6-10pm during the Downtown Fullerton Art Walk. As always, this event is FREE and open to the public.

Artist Statement:

Ryan Shane Owen’s latest exhibit, “Pop Drop” is a collection of gicleé ink prints on paper featuring bold, vibrant colors and shapes influenced by abstraction and graphic art. The subject matter, a variety of pop references, music promotion, and fan culture are interpreted as stylized compositions inspired by vintage advertising and classic poster art. The pieces are stylistically inspired by woodblock prints and silk screening, hand done techniques which Ryan has worked in extensively. These prints were first drawn by hand, then finished digitally, and printed with a high quality digital printing process usually used for reproductions of paintings. The velvety matte texture of the print surface combined with large areas of solid color creates a striking visual effect. Prints may be purchased through the gallery, and orders in various sizes are also an option.
