Change is the only constant in life (Heraclitus) and the same can be said of Bryan Ida’s studio practice. Ida’s oeuvre is a constantly evolving exploration of form and color and medium. Over the decades, Ida has pushed himself to experiment with ink, paint, pencil, pen, resin, wax, paper, canvas, and panel. The works are unified in their amalgamation of forms and concepts - of the unifying and joining of the disparate to tell a story.

Bryan Ida’s work is a visually stunning tour de force incorporating elegant patterns, delicate marking-making overlaying intricate under-structures, and ranging from subtle nuanced colors to intense jewel-tones. Uniting the different bodies of work is a desire to capture a moment - sometimes it is the experience of a place, sometimes of a thought, sometimes an emotion.
