SFSAC ARTIST WEEKLY SPOTLIGHT

Ron Pokrasso: Artist - Educator - Master Printer

Theresa A Story Behind Her - Monotype Drawing Collage Acrylic on Paper Mounted To Wood 26 x 36 inches - Ron Pokrasso

    I have a conversation with the piece as it unfolds. . .

    SFSAC member and longtime volunteer, Ron Pokrasso,  has been exhibiting for more than 40 years. He is featured in public, private, and corporate collections throughout the world and in numerous books. Ron teaches classes in Santa Fe, around the United States and internationally. 


    "My artistic development spirals around a need to express, making new discoveries, and continually returning to familiar themes. I have always relied upon things that are close to me, things that speak about the passions in my life and are often derived from day to day experiences. 

    I work by diving in- the passion of creating is vital. Usually there’s a vague general direction, but rarely do I have a clear idea of what will happen. If I knew where I was going, I’d be lost. Seldom do I try to portray a literal visual meaning. It is more important to allow content to come through me in the working out of a successful composition. 

    This relationship with my art falls somewhere between taking full control and just letting things happen. The result is an exploration of balance between frenzied paint scribbling and the tight rendering of a figure; between the regularity of black and white lettering and a multi-colored paint palette. 

    I like to juxtapose seemingly unrelated or competing elements to create visual and technical contrast. I have a conversation with the piece as it unfolds. As the work takes on its own personality, it lets me know where it needs to go and I attempt to get it there. The work is complete when it stops asking for more."


    In his Galisteo Street Studio he offers workshops and assisted sessions for artists in addition to creating and exhibiting his artworks. 


    Ron Pokrasso's artwork combines printmaking, collage, drawing, painting, photo and other techniques. In his teaching his passion for creating always comes across to deliver a unique curriculum for artists at any level to help them break barriers and explore new territory.


    Workshops with Ron take place throughout the year and around the globe with exciting opportunities to study in Europe, Mexico, and throughout the US.
