RYCA valuation
Ryan Callanan, who makes pop-cultural jokes in screenprint, neon and laser-cut steel.
RYCA is Ryan Callanan, a British artist trained in fine art printmaking whose work sets pop-cultural imagery — Star Wars, horror film, the iconography of the 1970s and 1980s — against the visual language of traffic signage, religious iconography and municipal notice boards. The joke is usually in the collision, and the craft is in the making: he works in materials that are unusual for the field, including laser-cut steel, neon and vitreous enamel.
Screenprint editions are the accessible end, and hand-finished and diamond-dust variants sit above the standard impressions. Objects — signs, neon, cut steel — are their own market and are frequently made in very small editions or as unique pieces. Material governs condition here: enamel and steel age differently from paper and neon has a working life, so the state of a piece should be established rather than assumed. Documentation from the original release should travel with the work.
What a work by RYCA is worth
Send photographs and whatever paperwork came with it. The first question is what the work actually is — edition or unique, when, and in what condition — because everything else follows from the answer. A valuation is free, made online from the photographs you send, and it commits you to nothing. We act for sellers across the UK.
