Ramón González

Project: Proposal BV1
Author: Ramón González

“Atmospherik: In Search of the Polr Bear, Principle Author of My Organic Reflection”.

The Project developed by artist Ramón González establishes a poetic and sarcastic experience that communicates an imaginary journey through the idealization of faraway places and beautiful incomprehensible faces. His primary objective is to fabricate an ambiance for the viewer by selectively staging paintings, drawings, video installation and sound compositions that recall the artist’s experiences during his visits to the various places where he traveled and studied for two years.
