While we love a successful show, at times it is difficult to let go of Ronn's creations. Not only are they magnificent and profound they are also a personal sample of his self-expression. Yes, I know I am biased and, I might mention, Spry and Giaco are two of my personal favorites from his body of new work. Don't get us wrong, we certainly are excited that five of Ronn's recent creations found new homes.
Spry, Ricci Di Mare, Blossom, Aqueous and Giaco were spoken for at The Laffer Gallery's Renewal which featured works from Ronn and gallery owner, Erik Laffer.
All of these pieces are composed of repurposed steel and glass. Spry, Blossom and Aqueous are specifically fabricated from found objects - also steel.
Glass for several of the Renewal pieces was repurposed from a historic hardware store - turned small department store in Schroon Lake, NY. The use of this glass not only aligned with Ronn's focus on repurposing material and the theme of the show, but also with the store-owner's mission to honor history.
See something you like? Although Ronn's sculptures are all one-of-a-kind, often multiple pieces will have similar aspects. Ronn also commissions artwork that is created with the client's input.
