WHATS IS NEWS — ART | Ryle RAMIREZ

Ryle RAMIREZ is a contemporary artist that utilizes installation art, mixed media, and media art. His unconventional and  unapologetic views are vividly reflected in his works in a manner that allows viewers to introspectively think while artfully looking at a single piece. The uncanny way of creating these art pieces convey a newer perspective that will undoubtedly make his audience skeptical yet give off a relatable and almost nostalgic reaction towards his works.

More about the Artist

Most of RAMIREZ's inspirations are drawn from Francis Bacon’s genius towards figurative artistry, Henri Matisse’s mastery of colours, and Theodore Adorno’s intellectual perspective towards “true art”, and postulated that, with the aid of his talent, hard-work, and the combination of their intellectual and artistic prowess, He could make artworks that could invoke conversations between the commonalities we all share underneath the mask we bear for society.

Ramirez's background in the arts developed during his early years at his family's stone furniture company, ZERIMAR Furniture Industries, that supplied hand crafted stone sculptures and stone furniture for Marquis Collection of Beverly Hills, CA.

Ramirez, in his early years in a Science and Technology High School in Compostela, Cebu, partook in various academic activities such as Public Speaking through Oration/Spoken Poetry, Editorial Drawings in their School Paper ‘‘Campus Stellae”.

Intentions

Intentions Project is a collaboration piece with Jake Warren (Photographer & Cinematographer) and MOSS (Painter, Poet & SongWriter), embarked on the creation of this thought-provoking soundscape project titled, Intentions. Our aim was to shine a light on the moments and snippets of life that we often overlook while pursuing our individual purposes. Through this project, we sought to uncover the subtle and profound beauties that life has to offer, guided by sincere and positive intentions.

the places we’ve left behind

Exhibited in Arts Commons' Window Galleries, Ryle Ramirez's unwavering commitment to the Arts got realized by presenting his life's work within a 4-month long exhibit. Titled: "the places we've left behind'.

The 3-set exhibit shares Ryle's thoughts and reflections on the power of memories and the colourful journey of his artistic pursuit. The 3-set title's to his exhibit, "then", "now'' and "the next", were unknown to the public at the time of the exhibit due to Ryle's purposeful play of "let the audience figure it out"

Culmination: MALAYA

The group exhibition, MALAYA, culminates the works of six promising Filipino artists at a downtown Calgary showcase June of 2023.
