Ryan Cronin
American, 1972
Ryan Cronin is a contemporary American artist renowned for his bold, iconographic paintings that blend elements of pop art, street culture, and abstract expressionism. His work is characterized by vibrant colors, dynamic compositions, and a playful yet reflective approach to contemporary themes.
Cronin's artistic journey began in the early 1990s and has since evolved to encompass painting, sculpture, and public art installations. His style draws inspiration from the DIY ethos of the 1980s, incorporating influences from hand-lettered signs, pop songs, and graffiti. This fusion results in artworks that are both visually striking and conceptually engaging.

Notable venues include Gallery Red in Mallorca, Spain; Lichtundfire Gallery in New York; The Dorsky Museum in New Paltz, NY; Katonah Museum of Art in Katonah, NY; and Yard Dog Gallery in Austin, TX. Since 2015, he has maintained a permanent gallery and shop dedicated to his work in the Hudson Valley, NY.
Cronin's commitment to accessibility and community engagement is evident through his establishment of The Cronin Gallery + Shop, which features a rotating exhibition of his original works and an extensive product line with designs rooted in his bold imagery. His work is held in corporate and private collections globally, further solidifying his international presence in the art world.
