Fairfield Arts Council Announces Climate of Uncertainty - Ronnie Rysz
from:Fairfield Arts Council category:Arts and Entertainment posted:July 21st, 2008Fairfield, CT – The Fairfield Arts Council (FAC) opens its newest solo exhibition, Climate of Uncertainty, with a reception that evening from 6:00- 8:00pm. The exhibition, which showcases drawings, paintings and prints by artist Ronnie Rysz, will run through October 31, 2008. A brown bag lunch is planned for Thursday, October 2, 2008 from 12:30-1:30pm at FAC.
Rysz states, “My imagery addresses class division. I do not only cite social and economic dichotomies, but also discuss the loss of morality.” The artist’s commentary is accentuated by the precision of his drawing, where crisp outlines combine with exaggerated facial expressions to create sardonic discourses between his characters. The dark energy of his paintings highlights the tense emotional state of debutants, tycoons and politicos as they attempt to climb over one another in a frenzy to steal the attention of the audience.
Laura G. Einstein, curator at Fairfield Arts Council states, “Ronnie’s use of humor is both sarcastic and cynical, yet maintains a playful tone and is really quite hilarious. I believe that Ronnie has a sense of reality that is all too familiar to each of us as we confront the ever present virtual breakdown of traditional human interaction.”
In the Directors Gallery Vincent Filardi will exhibit recent selections artwork.
On September 5, 2008 from 6:00-8:00pm there will also be a screening of Roland Becerra’s excerpts from Cannes Film Festival feature film Dear Beautiful with a discussion immediately following the viewing.
This exhibition is sponsored by R.D. Weis Flooring Solutions.
