Ryan Neil is an artist and entrepreneur who single handedly carved a new space in the contemporary art canon — deemed American Bonsai. This style seeks to capture the essence of America’s wild spaces, utilizing native species and calling on ancient, asymmetrical forms. Based outside Portland, Oregon — Neil is at the helm of two companies, Bonsai Mirai and Mirai Live, while constantly seeking to expand and perfect his creative endeavors. Neil’s work is a culmination of awe, grit and transience — an enigmatic representation of humans, trees, and our interdependent spaces in a steady, primordial flux.
