About the Item

Ryan Leitner says of his work… My artwork resists fixed definitions in form, medium, and identity. By collaging object making, studio photography, painting, and digital media, I create abstract figurations that reflect a sense of nomadism rooted in my own upbringing. These figures exist in flux, untethered to specific places, mediums, or identities, inviting viewers to question the solidity of our perceived realities. I am drawn to objects with the potential for transformation—temporary and discarded items like wrappers or torn rubber tires mixed with clay and putty. These materials, removed from their original contexts, become sites of transition and connection, sparking opportunities for new form. Using these things after their prescribed functions opens a space for constant change, mirroring what I believe as the fluidity of Queer existence. When making these pieces, time and space collapse in an ongoing sense of queer presence that defies conventional boundaries. By reconstructing the edges and barriers of objects and spaces, I seek pathways in a process of painting in layers of pigment and medium, and photographing through layers of lenses. These distortions help me explore the intersections of body and object, photography and painting, and real versus fabricated. For me, this practice is a byproduct of my active engagement with Queer histories and our public spaces. By restoring and creating monuments, developing archives, and memorializing queer narratives through plaques, publications, and parks, I honor the past while fostering spaces for connection and belonging in the present and a hopeful future. _____ Ryan Leitner is an artist based in New Orleans whose work explores the fluidity of form through the body, its objects, and environments. Using alternative approaches to collage, his two-dimensional artwork examines figurative objects and their environments through photography, painting, digital media, and sculpture. Leitner is also deeply committed to creating visibility and forms of permanence for LGBTQ+ histories. Through public monument restoration and creation, he engages in archiving, writing, and memorializing queer narratives that might otherwise be forgotten. As an ongoing project titled Strange Inheritance, he has restored and created monuments for Queer histories such as the Up Stairs Lounge Fire of 1973. These efforts inform his practice through the stories and individuals unearthed in his research. He received his M.F.A. from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University, holds a B.F.A. from Regent’s American College of London, and participated in the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2023. Leitner has spoken at the New Orleans Museum of Art, published in The Advocate, was a resident at the Joan Mitchell Foundation, and exhibited at UNO Gallery, Antenna, and other galleries nationally.
