Working in bas-relief, this iconic motif was re-contextualised by rendering it in material and style usually associated with traditional pub signs - gold inlay and black lacquered background.\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImportant to all Ryan’s work to date is this concept of the cross reference: taking one item out of its context and splicing it with another to create something that feels familiar but whose meaning is subtly shifted. This is certainly the case in our selection of Smileys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSold exclusively through LAMBERTY \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LAMBERTY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50927541977281,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0877\/6004\/4225\/files\/Lamberty-Street-Art-Ryca-Smiley-01.jpg?v=1794192005","url":"https:\/\/shopbravello.shop\/products\/smileys-ryan-callanan","provider":"Marlowe \u0026 Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
