About the artist: Ronald Davis is a painter famed for his use of Geometric Abstraction, Abstract Illusionism, shaped canvas painting, and 3D computer graphics in his work. He was born in Santa Monica, CA, and was raised in Cheyenne, WY. He studied at the University of Wyoming from 1955 to 1956. From 1956 to 1959, Davis worked as a sheet metal mechanic. It was in 1960 that he developed an interest in painting. He enrolled in the San Francisco Art Institute in 1960, where he studied painting. At the time, the prevailing movement was Abstract Expressionism, which has since influenced many of his works. The artist graduated from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1964. He then moved to Los Angeles, CA, that same year. Davis had his first solo exhibition at the Nicholas Wilder Gallery in Los Angeles during the following year. He continued to live and work in Los Angeles until 1971. In 1972, he relocated to Malibu, CA, where he lived until 1990. In 1991, he moved to Arroyo Hondo, NM. In 1963, Davis started to paint in a distinct geometric, hard-edged style. In 1972, he ventured into sound sculpture and electronic music composition. He returned to using acrylic paints in 1973 and went on to paint the Floater Series, the Music Series, the Object Paintings, the Flatland Series, the Freeway and Freeline Series, and the Spiral Series. In 1988, he began to use Macintosh’s 3D rendering and animation programs to design paintings, which he used extensively for some time. In 1995, he returned to painting using a wax medium on wood, which he named the Wax Series. Since then, he has made several new series including the PVC Hinges, Squares, and Diamonds; the PVC Shaped series; the digital rendering Pixeldust series; and in 2021, began a new series of acrylic on canvas painting, the circular Plumb Bob series. Davis has numerous exhibitions to his name, including both solo shows and group exhibitions. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the country. Some of his artwork continues to be displayed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, NY, and the Tate Gallery in London, England. He continues to reside at his studio-residence in Arroyo Hondo, NM.

This is Jupiter 4. I have others from the series, also for sale. The print has never been framed and is in excellent condition. It measures 22.5" x 28.5". Rafael Bogarin is an established contemporary Venezuelan artist known for his abstract serigraphs. Bogarin was born in 1946, in El Tigre, where he grew up making his own toys and learning to draw. He studied in Caracas at the Cristobal Rojas School of Fine Arts, specializing in lithography and etching. From 1970 to 1992, Bogarin, like so many artists, lived in New York. As he explored various techniques, he became an expert in serigraphs, earning himself acclaim in Latin America as a pioneer. In South America he traveled the continent giving classes and learning about native cultures. When he returned to the land of his youth, he was inspired to create the concept of the entire world in the Museo Vial in El Tigre in 1982. Later he made others along the route between Colombia and Venezuela. Recently he has been creating and realizing ideas like the Museo de Murales a Cielo Abierto (Museum of Murals to the Open Sky). Detailed biographical information (source: artist's website): Rafael Bogarín was born in El Tigre, Anzoátegui state, Venezuela, on January 20, 1946. He studied at the Cristóbal Rojas School, which he finished in 1966; Among his teachers are Luis Guevara Moreno, Pedro León Zapata, Luisa Palacios and Luis Chacón. Upon returning from school he founded the Zapato Roto group with other artists, with the aim of taking art to the streets. In 1966 he directed the outdoor exhibitions of the Venezuelan American Center, and two years later he participated in the XXVIII Official Salon, where he received the Rome Prize. During that time he ordered elements such as nuts and serrated blades in relation to discs engraved with burin and other techniques, and made the final impression in planes of one color. In 1970 he received a scholarship and traveled to New York; He studies at the Pratt Graphic Center and the Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. In 1973 he founded, together with Manuel Kohn, the Bogarín Printmaking Workshop, a workplace for Venezuelan artists living in the United States; This workshop, of which he has been master printer, allowed continuity to his artistic work. Bogarín investigates the possibilities of super eight cinema and makes films with quality similar to commercial formats; From these experiences emerge The Lonely World (1975) and New World Symphony (1976). In 1977 he deepened his study of color with The New Color, a portfolio where he produced superimposed colors through transparencies and glazes. His teaching experience includes courses at the Rafael Monasterios School of Plastic Arts in Maracay (1969-1970), Ceagraf (1979), as well as workshops in various cities around the world. In 1980 he made an exhibition of silkscreen prints in cities in Italy, El Salvador, Colombia, Mexico and the United States. That year he resumed his interest in outdoor exhibitions with a museum project with murals by 30 artists for El Tigre (Venezuela); The Rafael Bogarín Road Museum was inaugurated in 1982 and brought together 30 murals on 2 x 4 meter fences, by artists such as Mario Toral, Édgar Sánchez and Paul Davis. He carried out the project to recover the architectural spaces of El Tigre (Venezuela), through murals, sculptures, plazas and humanized spaces. In 2006 he painted the largest painted flag in the world in El Tigre, Venezuela. Bogarín has exhibited his work on all 5 continents and currently lives and works in Panama City in his private workshop and in the Articruz workshop. Individual exhibitions Ø 1966.
