As Ron Rundo escapes to his ancestral
homelands in his artwork and in his heart, fortunately for us
all, we get to enjoy his vibrantly colored ride. Captivated
by the spirits of nature, he sets us squarely in the African
Serengeti or does he! Born in Queens,
|
New York on Oct.14, 1960,
Rundo endured the majority of his growing pains in what many
refer to as "The Concrete Jungle". And it is there, in the streets
of Manhattan, where Rundo has found the inspiration to create the stunning collection
of artwork entitled "The Sunset Series". This collection of exquisite
oil paintings and hand-embellished, limited edition giclee prints,
supported by the VJS Art Group, depict intense, metaphorical nature
scenes that are imbued with a brilliant, masterful inner light. With
each brush stroke the artist creates an intensity of sound through
a pattern of circular motion.
As an urban youth, Rundo found comfort
in the myriad of New York City museums and became enthralled. As a
young adult, he willingly broke free of his graffiti upbringing, and
went on to study oil painting and figurative drawing for three years
at The Arts Student League in New York City. He wisely chose to continue
his studies in the old master painterís tradition for many more years
at the highly acclaimed John Frederick Murray Studio. Rundo has been
mastering his profession for decades, evolving through a variety of
artistic techniques and methods of application before settling on
his own current, distinctive style. |
