Will Ryman — Businessman
Will Ryman

Businessman

A towering figurative sculpture, "Businessman" by Will Ryman depicts the archetypal corporate figure rendered in epoxy, resin, steel, and paint. Ryman's signature larger-than-life scale and raw material application lend the work a striking tension between the mundane familiarity of the suited form and an unsettling, almost mythic presence. The textured surface and bold construction challenge viewers to reconsider the cultural weight and symbolism embedded in the modern business archetype.
