BIO

Ryan Tate is an artist from Seattle, WA. He grew up in Hollister, MO and graduated from College of the Ozarks with a bachelor’s degree in painting and graphic design. He takes inspiration from popular comic book covers to create playful, thought-provoking paintings. While touching on themes of traditions, consumerism, and patriotism, with the help of superheroes, he is able to make the viewer see something familiar in a new light. Like work from many pop artists, his paintings use bold lines, colorful shapes, and familiar subject matter to capture and celebrate what it means to be living in American society today.
