Status
Not on viewLabel TextJeanine Coupe Ryding is best known for her richly layered and inventive prints. Her forms and color record her observations of daily life and often focus on the actions of a single figure in space. Ryding’s prints playfully bring the 4th dimension (movement) into a 2 dimensional medium. Shapes swing, recede, draw nearer, or sway. This playful movement is clearly shown in this print as the figure reaches across the paper and looks at the viewer, drawing them into the scene.
Ryding received her BA from The University of Iowa and her MFA from Universitat der Kunste, Berlin, Germany. She has received various awards and residencies including Illinois Arts Council Award, Arts Midwest, Frans Masereel Center, Belgium and Anchor Graphics, Chicago. She teaches printmaking at the Art Institute of Chicago.
