Ryan Salge’s drawings capture the ephemeral: Not only the fleeting, small moments in people’s lives, but ever-evolving environmental factors like clouds, smoke, snow, and light, as well. Often set in suburbia, his skillfully rendered graphite drawings offer brief glimpses into his characters’ lives, where select details make the scene appear slightly out of the ordinary. Often, he organizes them like diptychs or triptychs, revealing details in ways that aren’t quite obvious, like clever editing in a film.
