\u200b\u200bBradley Ertaskiran is delighted to announce the representation of Bony Ramirez. Having collaborated closely since 2021 \u2014 most recently on Ramirez\u2019s solo exhibition Le Grand Corail<\/em> \u2014 we are thrilled to continue championing the bold and resonant work of this artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Born in Teneres, Salcedo, Dominican Republic, and currently working in Jersey City, New Jersey, Ramirez draws from a myriad of sources to populate his rich, fantastical scenes; his rural upbringing in the Dominican Republic, his first encounters with Catholic imagery, and his interest in Italian mannerism, Renaissance portraiture, and children\u2019s illustrations reverberate within and around the heavily-stylized figures in which Ramirez has become known. Amidst a changing theatre of symbolic surroundings and colourful backdrops of Caribbean imagery, Ramirez\u2019s scenes are often interspersed with sculptural appendages, which either complement the playfulness and idyllicism of his work, such as colourful beads, or contrast it by penetrating it with violence, such as knives stabbed through the canvas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ramirez has exhibited at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth (Texas), the Newark Museum of Art (New Jersey), Fran\u00e7ois Ghebaly (Los Angeles), Bank\/MabSociety (Shanghai), Bradley Ertaskiran (Montreal), and Jeffrey Deitch (New York), among others. His work is housed in the permanent collection of the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Newark Museum of Art, the Frye Art Museum (Seattle), the Perez Art Museum (Miami), and the X Museum in Beijing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
