Gesso & acrylic paint on KLIPPAN
In This is it, it is This Ron Adams presents a graphic and poetic composition of colour and text. His work considers the complex and abstract nature of emotions and thoughts; these human processes are not easily visualised and we must often look closely to decipher the messages presented to us. Ron’s work is autobiographical, primarily text-based Geometric Abstraction with an aesthetic that resembles Concrete Minimalism, Russian Constructivism, Bauhaus and De still. He is further influenced by psychology, philosophy, architecture, music and design.
Baed in Sydney, Ron has exhibited widely, including at Blacktown Arts Centre, Hazelhurst Regional Gallery & Arts Centre, Kaliman Gallery, Sherman Galleries, James Dorahy Project Space and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Internationally his work has been shown at Raid Projects, LA, Heble 121, Basil and The Armory Show, New York. He founded the artist-run initiative MOP Projects in 2003, with George Adams, where they curate a vibrant program of exhibitions.
