Cronartusa

CRONIN’S ARRIVAL Hudson Valley artist Ryan Cronin made his entrance into the world, almost ironically, on a hot June night 1972: in the front seat of a ‘60s Plymouth Station Wagon. His daring arrival set the tone for his entire life. From a young age, Cronin’s father instilled in him the belief: You can be a garbageman. You can be the President. And so Cronin chose to be an artist, and he has filled two decades-worth of boards, suitcases, walls, and more with Rust-Oleum paint, the staple ingredient in his original and bold works of art. CRONIN’S PRACTICE Since the early 1990s Ryan has been approaching his practice from a place of inclusivity and cultural awareness. Engaging in a dialogue surrounding the accessibility of art, Ryan expands on the legacies of Robert Indiana, Philip Guston, and David Hockney. With his distinct signature style and a desire to assimilate icons from his New York community into a visual vocabulary, Ryan draws upon street signs and cultural markers as sources of inspiration. As a painter, sculptor, muralist, and product designer he appropriates text and figures from his surroundings to reconfigure the world through art. CronArtUSA - THE BRAND First came the artist. Then came the brand. Cronin is a firm believer in making art accessible so his decision to take his original imagery and create a line of apparel to home goods was a natural one and one that helps to fuel his mission of Art For All, All For Art. Our focus is on art lovers, new and seasoned collectors, and everyone in between. In 2015, supported by his fans and followers, he established his flagship store and gallery in the Hudson Valley, NY. The gallery features his paintings, sculptures, and prints, along with an exclusive line of apparel and lifestyle goods based upon his original work. In 2017 he launched his online store CronArtUSA. We are strong believers in the principles of conscious consumption. We care about what we do, how we do it, and the way we share it with you
