“Art is still the only uncharted and uncategorized language of human expression, and the meaning of that language is only beginning to be understood.”
Westwood Gallery NYC is pleased to present Circular Causality, curated by James Cavello. The exhibition explores reality as a continuous exchange between perception, experience, and environment through recent paintings by Ron Morosan, an American artist, writer, educator, and curator. Over four decades, Morosan has developed a distinctive visual language that brings geometric forms, ambiguous figures, and disparate cultural references into layered, open-ended compositions. His paintings create a space of exchange between artist, artwork, and viewer, where associations emerge, shift, and give way to new possibilities. Rather than directing the viewer toward a fixed meaning, Morosan’s work invites an active process of looking and interpretation, in which meaning remains fluid and each encounter offers the potential for new connections.
Ron Morosan | Artist Statement (Excerpt)
Interpretation of art is a subject for my art. The process of seeing, evaluation, discovering, speculating, and expressing are inherent in the process of interpreting what my art is saying to me and to the viewer. This mutual dialogue is best when the work of art can interpret the viewer as much as the viewer can interpret the work of art. This dialogue is so fundamental to the experience of art that it forms the basis of the cognitive process as it pertains to taste, styles, and ideas in the history of art.
In the paintings on display at Westwood Gallery NYC I have taken a synthetic approach to combining urban material languages with an imaginative reconfiguration: they are half landscape and half narrative still life.
