Ricky Byrne

Ricky Byrne is a screen printer and visual artist based in the east end of London. His work predominantly focuses on abstract compositions using a unique technique of colour blending, but also spans into digital art and more technical print styles. 

Working as a commercial fine art screen printer under the banner of Mesh & Blade, Ricky has over 15 years experience in technical printing and loves to combine an in depth knowledge of the printmaking process with an open and freeform approach to his main body of work (which he would call, generously, curated chaos). 

The intention behind his work is to complete spaces aesthetically, challenge the often cold replication innate to printmaking with the joy of random generation and a more painterly live approach to the press and invoke the imagination of his audience by using reductionist approaches to colour, shape and the sense of movement in his work.
