Ross Racine

Abstract Aerial Landscape "Jumping" Black and White Limited Edition Print

2019

Ross Racine was born in 1952 in Montreal. Racine's works are drawn freehand on a computer and no photographs are used in the process. These imagined, aerial views of suburban development consider our society and methods of transportation within and around suburban developments. These drawings of aerial views use the distant, perpendicular mode of viewing for its reflective capabilities as a way of thinking about design, the city and society in general. His prints have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in the United States, Canada and Europe, most recently at the Des Moines Art Center, The Vienna Künstlerhaus, the International Print Triennial in Katowice, the Koffler Centre of the Arts, the International Print Center New York and the Front Room Gallery in New York. A selection of Racine's prints has won the biennial prize at the 2011 Biennale Internationale de Gravure Contemporaine in Liège, Belgium. His work is in several collections, including the New York Public Library Print Collection, the Des Moines Art Center, the Johnson & Johnson collection and the Hallmark collection. He currently lives in Montreal and sometimes in New York.
