Ryan Carter


Ryan Carter is an Auckland-based artist whose captivating sculptures, crafted from glass and resin, invite viewers into intricate worlds where time, illusion, and the body intersect. Drawing from his experience as an actor and writer, Carter’s work combines a rich blend of the dramatic, the playful, and the deeply reflective, encouraging a sense of irreverence that frees the viewer from overbearing themes and allows for a more personal, open-ended exploration of each piece.

Carter’s sculptures go beyond visual appeal—they are thought-provoking sociological commentaries, layered with subtle references to literature, history, technology, and the self. His pieces act as windows into multifaceted narratives, whether through the shards of a suspended object or the delicate intricacies of layered collages. Each work challenges the viewer to pause and examine, offering not just a visual experience but an opportunity for contemplation about the complexities of the human condition.
​
Carter brings a seasoned artist’s eye and a dynamic energy that blends his broader arts background with his evolving visual practice. His sculptures, both meticulous in execution and rich with emotional depth, reward close inspection and provoke thought.
Ryan Carter is an Auckland based artist working in the medium of sculpture, with a focus on glass and resin.
