SHORT NORTH GAZETTE MAY 2008’
“Ryan Orewiler is a Columbus College of Art and Design graduate who lives in German Village and has work in numerous public and private collections, including the Leigh Gallery in Chicago. Orewiler’s paintingss stem from his own photos, ambitious and fresh. The artist is not afraid to use bright industrial colors. His large city scenes, often complex, form a panoramic whole while the eye travels from section to section.
One of his best known series- Times Square in New York- includes over 40 paintings, all of which have sold except for one, Times Square <4, which is displayed at Studios on High Gallery. This work is one of Orewiler’s major efforts. A long painting, oil on canvas 31”x 44” inches, it depicts the famous square in broad daylight, with passerby in a variety of attire, rushing and pausing while the light changes. They’re on the go in the hub of America. One woman, who resembles a mid evill nun is standing in Times Square. “And she was really there,” explained Orewiler. “I try to capture a split second in time, an interesting figure or subtle interaction.”
Glass doors and windows blink, as do a multitude of actual signs. Yellow and red cars and trucks- there are a million vehicles in the naked city - and they were “really there”. Here are walls once transversed by Superman at a single bound. Above our heads? - the TV news and of course, the space where the ball descends on New Years Eve.
By tilting a light pole “just a tad,” Orewiler has manipulated perspective, allowing the viewer to sense the rush of wind among high buildings. This artist has “covered” cities, their rivers and lakes, in Europe, Hong Kong, and Indonesia. He is good at including people in urban scapes, and he understands shadows and light. Here in Columbus, he painted great scenes with the Smith Brothers Hardware Building and the Wonder Bread sign in Italian Village. His American Gothic and Mona Lisa, are sites familiar to Short North habitues. In Broad Street News, a bright painting, a fire hydrant and the newspaper stands almost march off the canvas.
Orewiler is quite a strong painter, adept at panoramic and colorful. His scenes in german Village, and , yes, Indonesia and other exotic sites, often reveal his gift for simplicity, and for the play of light on warm, soft, colors.
