Ryan MacGrath - Canadian Musician and Visual Artist
Manage episode 367028083 series 3293384
Christina chats with one of her best friends in his home in Dartmouth, Nova Scotion. Ryan MacGrath is the founder of Joy with Honey Artful Living - A decorating and design studio based in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.
Ryan combines many artful worlds: as a studied visual artist, he creates graphic, enigmatic figurative and stylized landscape paintings. At the same time, the Canadian is a celebrated Singer/Songwriter with comparisons to Brandon Flowers (The Killers), Nick Cave, Roy Orbison, and Rufus Wainwright.
The common thread weaving its way through MacGrath’s artistic work is an engaging melancholy. According to the artist, he has an affinity for exploring contrasts in his music: joy and sadness, light and darkness, and loneliness versus togetherness. Here it is again, that connection between two worlds: the bipolarity which also plays a major role in his painting.
