Matthew Ronay (b. 1976, Louisville, Kentucky, US) creates works that are derived from interacting with his subconscious. They begin as automatic drawings, done in many mediums, from small, quick pencil sketches, to larger charcoal works. These form the basis for Ronay’s softening of a membrane between the conscious mind and what lays beneath it. This practice generates a pool of representations that essentially evolve into sculpture.
The works are generally abstract and non-representational, but they vibrate heavily with nature’s vocabulary; tubes, bumps, warts, eggs, orifices. The works also embrace nature’s themes of reproduction and degradation and depend on the space between their parts, implying the intimacy of touch which viewers often intuit in a haptic way.
