Ruaidhri Ryan
Ruaidhri has exhibited internationally and nationally in art galleries and at film festivals. Working with film and video for over a decade, his practice began to incorporate mosaic, which has become a form of increasing focus since a three-month residency as Augusta Scholar at the British School at Rome.
Ruaidhri will be discussing patience, humour, a love for the mundane as well as his relationship with narrative film and the effect cinema has had on his visual art practice.

In the LSoM artist lecture series contemporary mosaicists talk about their work at The London School of Mosaic. All invited artists have been specifically picked to contrast each other and offer different perspectives on what contemporary mosaics can be . However, all are successful practising mosaic makers exhibiting and working with institutions such as The Venice Biennale, The De La Warr Pavilion, The Chisenhale Gallery, The Royal Academy, The British School in Rome and more.
These lectures are intended to inspire and challenge in equal measure. The expectation is that through these lectures we will be able to further define what is possible with mosaics in the present day- and through attending these lectures you will be able to define your own position amongst a myriad of practitioners.
The lectures take the form of a simple artist talk, 45 minutes and then a short Q+A session. It will take place in our workshop. The artists will talk about their attitude to art, and then contextualise their mosaic work and explain why they think it is a good medium.
The lectures are open to the public, and we welcome interested parties from all backgrounds.
