Rob Ryan was born in 1962 in Cyprus to Irish parents. He studied Art Foundation at Birmingham Poly, Fine Art at Trent Polytechnic, and then a Master of Arts in printmaking at the Royal College of Art.
Rob had been screen-printing for years before he started the silhouette-style and minutely detailed paper and laser-cut pieces for which he is now known. His work is either sold in paper cut form or developed as limited edition screen-prints, or transferred onto a variety of media including china, fabric, jewellery or cards.
Rob's work is always decribed as 'nostalgic, sentimental and romantic', exploring timeless themes such as love and loneliness.
