Brett Ryder is an illustrator from Norfolk, England. His inspiration comes from a variety of sources from bygone medical journals to the political and economic situations of everyday life. His portfolio is a mix of collage and printing. Illustration can display dozens of messages and reactions through informal commentary and criticism of a subject. Ryder works on many commercial projects, creating for columns including The Times and The Telegraph, and Oprah Magazine, and the foreword for Brummell Magazine.
Ryder’s illustrations are unique, colorful, and cover a wide range of topics, as he creates for many different clients. The colors and subjects alone are beautiful and fascinating. The eloquent details, vibrant hues, and quirky shapes grabs the viewer’s attention and holds tightly onto it. With so much going on in each image it is easy to stare into it for an extended amount of time, picking out all the small details then looking back at how they all work together to create one cohesive image. One of the most intriguing things about his work is that there is no clear process behind each image. The subject matter appears very random, but allows the viewer to derive their own meaning from the image. This is a powerful trait that only the greatest visual artists are able to achieve in their work, and Brett Ryder is one of those great artist.
