Anne Ryan's three-dimensional painted ‘cutouts’ in the Sunley Gallery, at the Turner Contemporary, Margate, Kent

---

Anne Ryan creates constructed and painted ‘cutouts’, which are intensely coloured, densely layered and full of movement. Figures appear and disappear in the positive and negative shapes of the interlocking surfaces: swimmers diving, raucous pub crowds and Mods and Rockers on the beach. For Sirens, Ryan has created works in high-density board and aluminium, drawing on a wide range of references and daily observations of the coastal environment, its light and weather, as well as Margate’s history of leisure and working-class culture.
