Hello, here's a short bio to explain my artwork, and give some insight into my life as a artist.
Ron Kenedi's artwork is a personal, vibrant reflection of the places and times he's lived in. Born and raised in New York City, Ron came of age during the volatile and seminal 1960's. He attended Stony Brook University where he studied Fine Arts with mentors including Lawrence Alloway Allan Kaprow, Nam June Paik, and other distinguished teachers. After college, Ron practiced stone lithography at the art Students League in New York and taught figure drawing at the Mediterranean Institute in Deya, Majorca, Spain where he was the faculty with Anthony Burgess and Colin Wilson.
As Ron's technique evolved, his artwork began to take n a look and feel that was representative of his life's diverse influences. It's a style that is mostly figurative, focusing on presenting the essence of the subject. The goal of each piece is to set a mood and tell a story that requires the viewer to participate on a visceral and intellectual level. "I want the artwork to be a catalyst for the viewer's own interpretation and provide meaning beyond the word itself," he says.
Ron now exhibits mostly oil painting throughout the Northern California area and has recently shown his works at Osborne Woods Gallery in Nevada City California, Blue Line Arts in Roseville California and Museum of Northern California art in Chico. His work has been shown multiple times on apero online gallery and catalog and can be seen on The Center for the Arts, grass valley California and Instagram, and currently He has thousands of followers on Facebook and Instagram.
