Our Notes
In R2Heart2 – Copper, Ryan Callanan pays tribute to the iconic Star Wars character R2D2. Combining a black and white stencil with a spray paint design, this artwork updates the character for a modern audience and offers a contemporary twist to the icon.
We love how this artwork combines Ryan’s self-described ‘Poptarian’ style with recognisable pop culture to create a humorous celebration of street art. The playful appearance of this artwork makes it the ideal statement piece, which could be used to cheer up a blank wall or add colour to a plain room.

Callanan is a master of experimentation with a signature street style encompassing emojis and pop culture references. He studied Modelmaking at Barking College, Dagenham, before he rose to fame in the street scene and chose his moniker RYCA after producing his first set of 3D smiley faces, emblematic of the 1980s Acid Rave culture. Since then, he has experimented with various processes and different materials, ensuring that his art is constantly developing, and he has perfected the art of adding wit and spirit into his artworks. In 2003, Callanan started working at a sign company, and he now creates pub signs that imitate the Victorian sign aesthetic and are made from glass, resin, gold, and paint. His signs draw on popular quotes and sayings, colloquial and swear words, and song lyrics. His collection of expletive insertions, in which an expletive is inserted into a word, has become a symbol of Ryan’s playful diving into British popular culture. His experimentation with lyrics has resulted in highly collectible editions amongst musicians, music producers, and writers.
