Ron Rovner

Working originally in stained glass, Ron Rovner has since adapted the colorful geometric patterns afforded within that medium to canvas, panel, or textured papers using acrylic, charcoal, pastel, and sepia ink. Various contrasting elements, materials and textures are juxtaposed in such a way so as to achieve a harmonious balance which results in a narrative flow suggestive of a musical composition. A classically trained pianist and musician, Rovner seeks to create works which emphasize the musical fundamentals of harmony, balance, and rhythm. Each piece is unique and entails a process of reconciling opposites such as the ancient with the contemporary, the angular versus the lyrical, and amorphous color background fields with bold foreground figurations. The result is work representing more than the mere sum of its disparate parts.
