On View: “Ryan McGinness: Studio Visit” at the Virginia MOCA

Known for his elaborate screen printed works that reference elements of illustration and graphic design, Ryan McGinness gives viewers insight into his creative process with his current exhibition, "Ryan McGinness: Studio Visit" at the Virginia MOCA in Virginia Beach, VA, on view through April 19. A native of the area, McGinness's early involvement in Virginia Beach's skate culture made a lasting impact on his work. He initially started screen printing as a teenager because he was not able to afford name-brand skate apparel, and the popularity his original screen printed designs sparked his ongoing interest in the artistic medium. For "Studio Visit," sketches and ephemera from his New York studio or on display alongside large-scale works.
