Artist’s Statement
Ron Mier is a printmaker and painter, creating monotypes, engravings and acrylics in bold colors. The compositions are abstract images with strong linear and organic reference. His images elicit personal and universal connections. Ron is self taught and has collaborated with other artists for eighteen years in group shows and printshop settings. The artist’s work has been displayed in studios and galleries in the United States and France. Ron Mier currently works in his printshop and studio in Santa Fe where he was born.
My work expresses moments of quiet reflection and concentrated emotion. The ideas for my compositions are cultivated and produced in the rich surroundings of northern New Mexico, inspiring unique and intuitive work. The monotypes and paintings are a communion between myself and the medium by building multiple layers of color to achieve dimension and a translucent quality. My images are created in trancelike concentration driving the movement of color and form that becomes the art.
