Ron Eady
Ron Eady was born in Toronto, in 1957.
In 2000 he became an elected member of The Ontario Society of Artists (O.S.A.)
“In my work, I like to explore Formations or Forms, whether man made, natural, or the human form. I like to express the support of the form, or skeleton, which reflects its state of transition or tension.
How they compete with the forces of nature or the pressures of everyday life. Either way, they are dealing with issues or expressing feelings, and are left open to interpretation.
I work the surface through a repeated process of painting, burning and scraping, allowing the work to evolve, and lead me into new directions, until it feels complete.
