ABSTRACT

The Sculpture of Ron Dewey

It has been my goal with the spiritual art to combine transparency and color with the substantiveness of metal - spirit/form. This duality runs through the Earth Existence. Spirit underlies the tangible and within that duality lies this dichotomy, that which appears tangible is transient and that which seems ethereal is eternal.

Beyond this underlying philosophy the work speaks for itself. The use of minimal forms with soft surfaces yet sharp definition, superb craftsmanship and enduring materials.

Note: While the work shown is of gallery size, all forms can be enlarged as commercial installations. Also, site specific commission work of similar images is welcome.

Artist's statement:

The Spiritual Art

Within this semi-ordered chaos, the soul exists in timeless awareness and using matter in its many facets as a forging process. As this process goes forth and soul becomes more and more obvious within those points of matter that rise above the chaos, matter is transformed. As the visionary architect, Paolo Soleri said, "The bridge between spirit and matter is matter becoming spirit."

This is the goal of spiritual art... to express that symbiotic transformation that elevates both spirit and matter and holds the hope for true integration out to struggling humanity.
