Gustavo Ramos Rivera

Art Brokerage: Gustavo Ramos Rivera Mexican Artist: b. 1940. Gustavo Ramos Rivera is an abstract painter whose work is recognized for its emotional and visual intensity and its highly individualized iconography. Through the use of brilliant color and a highly personal symbology, Ramos Rivera has created a unique language that is written throughout his paintings, monotypes, and collages. This singular expression functions on both an intellectual and emotional level and its deployment is reminiscent of the work of Paul Klee, Joan Miro and Cy Twombly. It also harkens back to the pre-Columbian Mesoamerican art and architecture of Ramos Rivera's native Mexico. Gustavo Ramos Rivera's paintings are Moments; parts of an unending search, beginnings toward understanding, realizations along the way. Memories; visual associations and recollections. Each color, each form is tugged by memory. Experience; the evidence of creation. The visual complexity of the paintings reminds the viewer of Rivera's maturity as an artist and his years of experience in working with paint. Listings wanted.
