Atlantic Gallery proudly presents Escapes, a series of paintings by Roni Sherman Ramos, illustrating her personal journey over the last 1 1/2 years, including her recovery from the Covid-19 virus. As we emerge on the other side of a pandemic that pushed the boundaries of human resilience, Ramos’ exhibition is evidence that the creation of art reached beyond the constraints of COVID and beyond the political turmoil

that characterized that period. This exhibition will include 18 oil paintings. Size ranging from 8”X10” to 36”X48”.

The paintings are not unlike a diary of personal expressions transformed into a portfolio of color and form that build in intensity, texture and perspective.

Bursts of layered colors and gestural strokes scan to carry the linear progression of thoughts and sensations all throughout the series. Seemingly random shapes and occasional textural grittiness reflect perhaps recovery from hard times, both personal and communal.

Even without specific titles, there is clear evidence of an emotional moment within each painting that gives voice to a point in time that is now lodged in our collective memory.
