COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Ronny Quevedo’s art is coming to the Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center at Colorado College in the exhibit called “Ronny Quevedo: at the line” starting Friday, Oct. 1 starting at noon and ending at 5:00 p.m. and ending Sunday, Dec. 5.
The public opening, reception and artist talk will be Friday, Oct. 1 from 5:00 p.m. until 8:00 p.m.
This will be Quevedo’s very first solo exhibit in Colorado, presenting his identity through the lens of a fractured past. The materials utilized are gold leaf, wax, muslin, plastic crates, carbon and pattern paper.
“Overarching the exhibition is an understanding of multiple origins,” said Quevedo, “I reference personal geographies, various notions of identities, and multiple diasporas to consider the development of individual identity.”
Many large-scale works will be featured in the exhibit, including a floor installation made of reclaimed wood sourced from a professional basketball court. Historical, archaeological aspects are featured within his art, such as Mesoamerican ball courts, basketball courts and soccer fields.
Katja Rivera, the curator of contemporary art at the museum, said, “Quevedo’s compelling works are thoughtfully constructed and bring together a carefully selected arrangement of forms and materials.
