Rob Ryan: Like Time It Waits for Nobody

To celebrate the momentous occasion of the Tour de France beginning its journey in Yorkshire in 2014, together with Rob Ryan’s love of the Yorkshire landscape and all things outdoors, YSP commissioned an exclusive intricately detailed large three colour screen print from this iconic London based artist titled Like Time, It Waits for Nobody.

Featuring a poetic verse written by the artist and with the backdrop of a beautiful Yorkshire landscape, the peloton races through the Yorkshire hills whilst onlookers stop and gaze in amazement. The text reads:

July 5th 2014. Like time, it waits for nobody. Once the race has started it thunders on doesn’t stop for anyone or anything. But that one summer day in the space that lay between us, somewhere between sky and dale we achieved the impossible, we made time stop and for one delicious moment we held it in our hands as a gentle breeze caressed our faces and the hot sun made our bodies glow. We breathed time in as deep as we could and held it in inside us for the longest possible moment before we let it loose on its relentless way again. We looked up at the clouds and thought how tiny and insignificant we must look from up there and it didn’t bother us at all.
