Tesluk - “Positivly Cynical” June 5th, – August 1st, 2026
For June and July we are currently featuring “Positively Cynical,” a showcase of recent mixed media works made by Ryan Tesluk. While the pieces shown diverge from his previous paintings, they too have their own individual stories that don’t shy away from the complex realities of our world.
Ryan Tesluk is an Oakland and LA-based interdisciplinary artist and storyteller. In his teens, he was known for drawing detailed fictional maps of cities in his home state of California. When Tesluk graduated from college in 2018, his practice had shifted to socio-political commentary using mixed media. Tesluk’s work has sparked both controversy and captivation with his willingness to take risks and shock viewers. Along with being mentioned by Raw Vision Magazine, he has had six solo exhibitions: “Positively Cynical” at FM Oakland, “Rising Stars of LA” at the Hive Gallery (Los Angeles), “Apolitico” at FM Oakland, “American Gentricide” at FM Oakland, “Church of Madoff” at Adelines Lab (Berkeley CA), and “Mapping it Out” at Preservation Coffee (Modesto CA). Tesluk’s art has also been viewed by Pamela Anderson, Emily Ratajkowski, and Shepard Fairey. You can visit him at FM Oakland during open studios on the first Friday of each month from 5-9pm and every Saturday from 1-5pm. You can also see a rotating selection of his work at the Hive Gallery in downtown Los Angeles every Wednesday-Saturday from 1-6pm and first Saturdays from 8-11pm.
