contact us to arrange an interview. Exhibition Statement: "Were we to
have a forensic investigation in order to understand how a work of art
came into being we’d need to examine not only the physical
application of materials, but more importantly the causal chain of
events, thoughts, influences, and desires that brought it to being.
CONSIDER THE SOURCE. In this exhibition I present, as a sort of self
portrait, work that has been made in the past several years, tracking
the expansion of my interests in a tumultuous time, and inviting you
to reflect on these images that have been made with deliberate
‘slowness’. These images are meant to unfold slowly, like a
beloved poem, or an old friend." Artist Bio: Ron PRIGAT IS A US BASED
