Lamberty x Ryan Callanan

Passing old East London Pubs on his way home to Essex
must have inspired Ryan, this quietly spoken soul.
Ryan has a rather more robust message to convey in his
adopted Victorian ‘pub sign’ style, which he has named
Poptorian. He likes to think that anything gilded accords
it a Midas type quality. Rather in the American tradition of
inventing language, RYCA has made up his own splendiferous
words, well beyond the banality of fashion brand FCUK,
which are incorporated into the gilded and lacquered heavily
framed signs.
Any art movement usually has trends running within it, and
comparisons can inevitably be made with Ben Eine’s verbal
presentations and, perhaps at the extremity when comparing
innovative visual alphabets, Retna.
