Ryan Sardachuk was born December 19th, 1993 In Calgary, Alberta, Canada. He Is a local artist who is commonly referred to as "The Redneck" due to his stereotypical redneck attributes, or "The World’s Youngest Old Man" due to his love of the mid 20th century. He sells his work through his business Fast Lane Design at local car shows, art shows, and over the web. What began as doodling, vague sketches of scenery and cars with markers in kindergarten has transformed into his life’s passion. More recently, painting has created business opportunities many commissioned pieces as well as a request to have one of his works displayed in Ester Brym's documentary film "Autumn of Route 66." His artwork has been heavily influenced by his fascination with automobiles, architecture, and the Cold War era along with all the nostalgia and pop culture it creates. By utilizing these ideas and countless intricate details, Ryan tries to convey an emotion that will refresh people's memories of a bygone era. When he entered Bowness High School (2010-2012), he broadened his artistic horizons, leading him to experiment with different mediums such as graphite, watercolor, chalk, and most recently with acrylics. While he has a wide range of influences in his style, Ryan’s greatest influence is Chip Foose, who is an automotive designer, fabricator, and the host of the reality TV series "Overhaulin'." Ralph Goings has also been a great influence and inspiration to his overall style. Goings is a photorealism painter whose work displays many nostalgic scenes with unbelievable amounts of detail.
