Artist , Designer and Photographer, based in Bristol Initially studying art under the Scottish colourist, John Nelson at Stevenson College in Edinburgh, Ronnie moved to Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in Dundee before graduating with degrees in Architecture from Dundee University. After working with the internationally acclaimed architects Percy Thomas Partnership in Bristol and winning accolades for his public sector projects he set up CODA Architects, where he could explore themes that would also inform his Art: intellectually generated, poetically inspired and reflecting the ’genius Loci ‘ of a place. Wining numerous architectural awards Ronnie maintained his passion for painting by incorporating art wherever possible in his projects and by creating his own abstracts rooted by an architects understanding of place and the importance of line to explore identity through memory, impulse and the human need to tell stories and make marks. Now working full time from his Bristol based studio his work requires sketches and reflection before working directly onto the canvas. A work emerges, which is then followed and shaped: line is the prime signifier with the focus on the paint . Canvas is often left untouched, sometimes to crowd the paint, sometimes left as vestigial space to allow the paint space to breathe, from a belief that what is not said also has value and that the canvas should merely hold an idea not limit it.
