Ron RizkFor the Time Being

New paintings of architecture and landscape, based on small foam core structures the artist builds and sets in dioramas.

Rizk, known for trompe l’oeil still lifes, turns his attention here to buildings and flora. Where earlier compositions were assembled from found objects, he now constructs structures in foam core and places them in simple dioramas to paint from.

The buildings come from his extensive travels, set in landscapes drawn from research, imagination or memory. At 85, Rizk treats the new work as more autobiographical than before, still built on objects that tell a story. This is his third solo show at the gallery since 2022.
