Painter Ryan Pancoast

Ryan Pancoast is a new talent in the world of illustration. His classic Caravaggio-like technique plays with contrasting light and shadow, precisely blending the chiaroscuro effects. While he was an undergraduate at Rochester Institute of Technology, his work was chosen for display in the Society of Illustrators Student Show, in 2003 and again in 2005. Since graduating from RIT in 2005 (BFA Illustration), he’s worked for Yankee Magazine, the Democrat and Chronicle newspaper (Rochester, NY) and personal clients who have commissioned portraits. oil on cardboard
