"Residual Energies" - Ryan De La Hoz - November 5th to November 28th - Flatcolor Gallery (Seattle)

One of the more fitting shows for this time of year is Ryan De La Hoz's new exhibit at Flatcolor Gallery. Ryan explores the world around him through childhood memories and images. Skeleton gloves, Ninja Turtles Ooze, and more act as placers or reminder of a live once lives as it mashes into a current reality.

"Residual Energies analyzes the idea of human nature and existence. The work is an amalgamation of my feelings about the planet, our actions as human
beings, and influences from my childhood (everything from Ninja Turtles Ooze to my Geode Collection) Skeleton gloves act as artifacts of existence that once was. Ladders represent abandoned progress, now being swallowed up and scattered around in a land left behind. I am always exploring the idea of fragility. A bizarre and beautiful world is left desolate for the viewer to take in." -Ryan De La Hoz

Ryan De La Hoz is based in San Francisco California and has participated in group exhibitions in the United States as well as the Philippines, Hong Kong, Germany, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Residual Energies at Flatcolor Gallery is his first ever solo exhibition.
