The Red Raven

Limited hours during our last two weeks in operation! Don’t forget to join us for our last two art events this weekend! Been a pleasure serving y’all.

Welcome to our last featured artist! will have a display up through September.

Ryan Flynn is a mixed media artist with a focus on paper collage. They create analog collages using vintage magazines, comics, and books. Their process is intuitive, driven by color, and chaotic. Juxtaposition is often seen in their work representing the difficulties and joys of life. They chose the name sacred chaos because collage helps them sort through their emotions and experiences in a deeply personal way. They started collaging 3 years ago and have created over 200 original works. Their work features themes of mental illness, disability, body positivity, q***r identity, and society. Collage is one of their favorite mediums because cutting up images is a rejection of society’s viewpoint. It breaks images down and rebuilds them to reflect a different worldview and experiences. The use of simple, secondhand paper is a rejection of the hierarchy and exclusion often found in the art world.

Find more or at sacredchaosart.com, and join them for a Political Collage DIY session on September 20th, 12-2 pm at the Raven.
