Born in 1989 outside NYC in Connecticut, Ryan 'ARCY' Christenson's style is heavily influenced by the street art culture he was immersed in from a young age. Known for his paint-splashed style of large scale street art, ARCY has been defining his skills for over a decade.

His peculiar style explores a mixture of the traditional photo-realism genre of modern art infused with a contemporary take on today's graffiti art. Emphasizing a strong focus on correct color selection, ARCY tackles the three dimensionality of his works using dozens of hues that are somehow reminiscent of Jackson Pollock, who influenced the artist greatly.

In 2015, ARCY announced his inaugural North American live event mural tour, where he took his skills on the road, spray painting 8' x 12' live event walls in front of thousands of onlookers in many of the largest cities across the nation. Since then, ARCY has created hundreds of live murals and permanent large scale works throughout North America, Australia, and Europe. ARCY has worked for the likes of The Smithsonian Institute, Major League Baseball, and America’s National Parks Service.

During ARCY's early touring, he visited the Walt Disney Hometown Museum and developed what would blossom into an amazing relationship over the years. Now, Marceline, Missouri is his home away from home, and he stops in each time he passes though Main Street USA. As he travels the globe, ARCY continues to demonstrate his growing desire to leave his mark wherever he goes. ARCY currently resides in his home state of Connecticut, USA
