With visual references to street art and art created during the 1980s, Some Pig features a flat composition with bold, contrasting colors. It also includes stars and encircled text, common motifs that tread throughout Ryan’s body of work. The word ‘PINKO’ that acts as a framing element, draws parallels to Jean Michel-Basquiat’s street tag SAMO that he used when he was a graffiti artist in New York’s Lower East Side.
