Ryan Heath lives and works in Nottingham, UK.
Heath works with painting, sculpture and moving image. He is also a BACKLIT studio artist and former member of Chaos Magic - an arts project space in the city.
His work explores signs and symbols and their use or interpretation. He revives lost and hidden markings from the urban landscape and reinvents their purpose or meaning. The artist is interested in the way possible narratives are gained and lost through symbolism and abstraction.
