The complicated tapestry of modern life is seen through oft-repeated expressions of chaotic slices of life gaining meaning through their juxtapositions, repetitions and temporality. A series of 22 collages, that Ralph created for exhibition at Spectrum Miami, speak to the myriad of visual intrusions into our daily lives. Panels feature memorabilia from his travels around the world and decades-long work as an experiential designer and producer. The panels are layered with original art, acrylic embellishments and embedded objects from his studio-arranged according to their own unique textual and imaginative qualities to reflect modern trends and social commentaries.
Happy to be one of the finalists in the latest Artavita contest, with my work "sources". When I made the photo- and video-installation "Sources", I themed our depending in gas and energy, and how far it can be end - long before the war in Ukraine started. Many artiists feel the sense and spirit in the world long before it comes aware in gerneral society. My congratulations to the winner Cristina Jobs, with her four sculptures. ! which had as the prize free participation for up to four works in the Spectrum - Red Dot Miami art fair.
