Ryan Crotty (b. 1977, Auburn, NE) is a visual artist and abstract painter based in Auburn, Nebraska. Crotty earned his BFA in painting from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and his MFA in painting from Syracuse University. He has exhibited work in Nebraska, as well as New York, Washington DC, Chicago and Berlin. He creates non-representational color field paintings rooted in the process intensive traditions of printmaking. Highlighting visual evidence of the canvas support structure, surface imperfections and materiality, he uses translucent paint to generate an interplay of light and colour that challenges visual interpretation of a two-dimensional surface. Crotty’s work has been featured in publications such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, Hyperallergic, and Design Milk.

Titulaire d'un baccalauréat en peinture de l'Université du Nebraska-Lincoln et d'une maîtrise en peinture de l'Université de Syracuse, son travail a été exposé au Nebraska, ainsi qu'à New York, Washington DC, Chicago et Berlin. Crotty crée des peintures faites de couleurs non représentatives, enracinées dans les traditions intensives de l'estampe. Réalisés à partir d’une peinture translucide, les jeux de lumière qu’il génère nous font remettre en question notre interprétation visuelle de surfaces bidimensionnelles. Le travail de Crotty a été présenté dans des publications telles le New York Times, le Washington Post, Hyperallergic et Design Milk.
