Ron Loranger

I visited Ron's place earlier this week to hang and catch up on his work. He's installing this series of large-scale ink drawings and water colour "blobettes" at Glendon Gallery, York University, in Toronto. Minimal in content yet intriguing and inviting in narrative, these new works are beautiful. Follow this link for info on his exhibition. It opens Tuesday, February 7th.

RIP Mike Kelley

American great Mike Kelley ended his life yesterday, he was 57. Here's from the LA Times.
