Artist contemplates modern cultural influences

Though not self-proclaimed, artist Ryan Babcock could just as well be called a visual philosopher. His work speaks of the inner workings of someone who is constantly pondering the state of society and its actions with a goal of making viewers think.

“My art foresees the possibility of a world of separateness, loneliness, absent thinking and lack of personal awareness. This is caused by the teachings presented to us by corporate America,” he said. “I believe that we are all here on this earth to learn, evolve and be happy.”
