Ron Ehrlich Exhibition
Stephen Haller Gallery
This event has ended.
Stephen Haller Gallery presents an exhibition of new paintings by the renowned colorist Ron Ehrlich. With a rare level of skill and a complex methodology Ehrlich tackles his paintings with a contrasting muscularity and intellectual vigor. Ehrlich’s provocative and intense personality is evident in the vitality of his painting.
Art Critic Dominique Nahas describes this aspect of the work in the catalogue essay to Ehrlich's recent exhibition at the Daum Museum of Contemporary Art:
At the heart of Ehrlich’s work is its ferocious daemonic energy which pulsates throughout the work… The artist’s works are startling in their boldness and directness and surprising in their infinite subtleties, nuances and modulations of mark making and texture and color revealed slowly both from afar and up close.
The rigor of Ehrlich's five year study in Japan of the art of Bizen pottery-making lead to the development of his singular and very effective technique. Later studying at Kansas City Art Institute and RISD he began to apply three dimensional techniques to two dimensional painting resulting in surfaces of extraordinary depth and complexity.
