RON MAGGIO: From There to Here
Ron Maggio has been exploring formal and informal variations of the grid in paintings and mixed media work since the late 1970's. His show at Gallery A3, From There to Here, spans from a large-scale early work (There) to current work (Here), all with underpinnings of the grid used as a formal device and a point of departure, with unique and varied approaches.
The early work, Garden of the Satyrs, a five-foot by eight-foot painting in acrylic on canvas, reveals his inspiration in the classical world of ancient Greece and the sensibilities of the French Impressionists. In his current mixed media work, Maggio uses the grid to help frame a content that reflects kindness, compassion, and harmony, and is partly in response to the current political situation and climate of our country. In Love Thy Neighbor, he utilizes a "broken grid" that depicts, abstractly, harmony with one's neighbors. In another work, Soft Spoken, a formal grid pattern and muted color tones capture the feeling of peacefulness.
Maggio holds an M.F.A. in painting from Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, and he is a Faculty Emeritus from Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts.
