Ryan Gander has established an international reputation through artworks that materialise in many different forms – from sculpture to film, writing, graphic design, installation, performance and more besides. Through associative thought processes that connect the everyday and the esoteric, the overlooked and the commonplace, Gander’s work involves a questioning of language and knowledge, as well as a reinvention of both the modes of appearance and the creation of an artwork. Gander lives and works in Suffolk and London. Recent solo shows include Museum Beelden aan Zee, The Hague, Netherlands (2025); Pola Museum of Art, Hakone, Japan (2025); Museo Helga de Alvear, Caceres, Spain (2024); Ishikawa Cultural Foundation, Okayama, Japan (2023); Tokyo Opera City Art Gallery, Tokyo, Japan (2022); East Gallery at NUA, Norwich, UK (2022); Space K, Seoul, South Korea (2021); Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland (2019).
