Drawn to the woodcuts prints of late 19th century Edvard Munch (the artist best known for ‘The Scream’), Japanese artist Shiko Munakata and the work of William Blake, John Ryrie has established himself as an adept storyteller through the medium of printmaking.

In a broken shard of mirror, a curious black cat gazes at itself thoughtfully. Completed in his classic artistic style, Ryrie's petite woodcut is a playful re-imagining of the 'bad luck' stereotypes.

Ryrie is an esteemed printmaker. He was awarded the Grand Prize in the Silk Cut Award for Linocut Prints and a finalist in the Geelong acquisitive print awards, and is represented at the National Gallery of Australia. For collectors of contemporary prints and visual storytelling, this work is a joyful discovery.
