"Bugatti Veyron"

"Bugatti Veyron" 2006 Oil on Canvas (183cm x 183cm)

This epic 6ft by 6ft canvas is the biggest I've done to date and is of the Bugatti supercar I saw in Berlin. This is completely original and was for the final exhibiiton on my degree course, prints are for sale on this. I blurred the background on the original photo to give more detail to the foreground and eventually make the car stand out more. Again I have worked heavily with the white oil paint to give that epic shine effect.

"Ford GT" 2006 Oil on Canvas

This peice is one of the later peices I did in uni as a swing back to cars in February '06. I decided to paint this from a calender because of the awesome reflections between the car and the neon lit street.

"Portraits"

Final A-Level Peice, Oil on Canvas
"Amy" Oil on paper
"Richard" Pencil on paper

"Zoe" Pencil on paper

This selection came after my gothic work and wrapped up my A-Level for the end of 2005, all these painting/drawings were 2005 produced and were original photo's with a Photoshop effect apllied, then painted/drawn from the finished print-out. I liked these style of portraits because many people could tell who they were, and both parites appreciated then end result, bit Warhol-esque I think though.....

My Gothic Paintings

"Strigoi" 2005 Oil on Canvas
"Urien Rakarth" (not original) 2005 Oil on paper
"Decapitator" (not original) 2005 Oil on paper
"The work on John Blanhce" 2005 Oil on Paper

This section was a change to my car work and swung more towards research paintings of another artist and to see how well i could re-create them to see if the gothic style was good for me to paint as well as love. The top Strigoi Vampire inspirational draft was the most successful to date within any genre.

Halo Paintings

Halo (not original) 2005 Oil on Paper
Covenant Elite (not original) Oil on Paper

Above are two non-original pictures I found and HAD to paint to express to myself the level of detail I could produce painting metallic surfaces that isnt a car, e.g. Armour. The more I used turps and linseed oil within my paints, the smoother but more volatile the end result was.

More A-Level Car Work

A-Level Unit 4 Final Peice 2005 Oil On Canvas

Closer up photo of the bottom right section of the above canvas.

"Ferarri Enzo" 2005 Oil On Canvas "The Power of Ferrari" 2004 Oil on Paper

The above paintings are all of normal cars, when I say that I mean they are a change from the previous A-Level unit, theyre not crashed. My main focus was on the metallic surface and the shine it could give and the reaction with heavy use of white oil paint and white spirit which depicted this metallic shine.

In The Beginning...

Ill start displaying in chronological order :). This is my first unit within A-Level and the subject was based around car crashes which led to mid-air crashes applied detail to the shards. This was the end of unit final peice which depicts the collision between Ralf Schumacher (above) and Rubens Barrychello (underneath). Formula 1, Melbourne 2002. Oil on Paper (90x60cm)

Introduction

Hi, I'm Ryan and this is designed to be my main source for displaying and advertising my artwork to...well generally everyone. Im currently about to move into the second year in a Fine Art degree course at Huddersfield Univeristy. My art style has developed heavily in the past 6 years but my preferred style is photo-realsim but I am a fan of fantasy/gothic and photo-manipulative art - painted or printed. Hope you enjoy my stuff. Ryan
