Ryan Ferrell, aka The Wheelbarrow, is an artist and urban art historian from Arizona, now living in Miami. Since 2002, he has exhibited his diverse visual art styles in Wynwood. Inspired by the area's fading fashion district, he created a unique screen-printing performance called Live Fashion Vandalism.
His unique style, called Amorphism©, reflects the Taoist idea of Wu Wei, allowing viewers to find their own meanings in his abstract pieces. His work includes graphite drawings, watercolor paintings, spray-painted murals, screen-printed fashion, and porcelain sculptures.
In 2014, he started the BYOBIKE Tour, inspired by Wynwood, and has organized community rides in St. Pete, Florida, and Montréal. Named “Best Wynwood Tour” by Miami New Times, he has led tours for many prominent figures and celebrities. He also educates people about urban art while creating artist treasure maps to document temporary artworks, updated each year during Miami Art Week.
