Ron Langin

waterborne

Inspired by the undulating, rhythmic form of a piece of fabric abandoned beneath the waves of Lake Ontario, Langin creates a series of works emphasizing the interaction between the subject and his environment; light and shadow; transparency and opacity; reality and abstraction.

The subsequent exploration and discovery of biomorphic forms naturally carved into the rocks of Newfoundland’s shoreline then sparked a new series of multimedia works reimagined and rearranged into lush, lavish creatures. Through the representation of abstract and natural figures, the artist evokes the sacred and universal character of water and our reliance on it.

Residency : March 11th – 19th, 2025.
Opening : Thursday march 20th 2025, at 5 PM.

Ron Langin

Sudbury based artist Ron Langin draws endless inspiration from the landscape and the community. His unique perspective has been shaped by a variety of creative and activist endeavors such as The Drawing Circle, a group of artists dedicated to the practice of life drawing, The Malcontents, a collective of activists who succeeded in saving the Laurentian University Museum and transforming it into a public gallery and The Cedar Collective, a group of contrarian artists dedicated to the practice of still life painting. Over twenty years has passed since Langin's first solo exhibition, The Memento Mori Project, presented at the GNO in 2004. Now, more than two decades later, the exhibition waterborne marks his tenth solo exhibition. Langin’s work has also been presented in over sixty group exhibitions.
