Biography
Ryan Hewett (b. 1979) is a South African artist, currently based in Mauritius. He is renowned for his evocative portraits that explore the inner journey of soul-searching, relying principally on the intuitive processes of memory and imagination. Using a variety of oil painting techniques, from brushes to knives, Hewett’s extensive knowledge draws on renowned movements within art history. His structured forms and psychedelic colours allude to Cubist portraits and Surrealist landscapes, while his body-length portraits recall Renaissance medical diagrams of the human anatomy.
Hewett has exhibited extensively in art fairs, group and solo exhibitions in major cities around the world. His recent solo exhibitions include Asia Art Centre, Taipei, Taiwan (2023); H+, UTA Artist Space, Los Angeles, USA (2021) and Ryan Hewett: Nothing New Under The Sun, The Goss Michael Foundation, Dallas, Texas, USA (2019). In 2022 his works were featured in multiple group exhibitions that include Unit London Take-over, Nassima Landau Foundation, Tel Aviv, Israel; The Armory Show, Art Fair, Maruani Mercier, New York, USA and The Playground of Geometry, CICA Vancouver, CA. Hewett’s work can be found in various international private and public collections, including the Nassima Landau Foundation, Tel Aviv Israel; Amoli Foundation, Hong Kong; X Museum, Beijing, China; Goss Michael Foundation, Dallas, USA and Fine Art Centre, Taipei, Taiwan, among others.
