He was seated on a rusty metal chair permanently attached to an open-air portion of the uppermost deck. There’s something strangely audibly delightful, almost jazzy about the tick-tick sound of the nailcutter and the strong waves crashing on the turtle ship’s rusty exterior. Ronaldo Ruiz was then on his way to a sailboat painting competition already ongoing in the island-paradise. It was sponsored by a government agency, with the usual theme about saving the ocean from pollution, industrialization, commercialization and all the other “tions.” It’s easy to come up with the images, and the cash prize was better than in other competitions, part of which was a trip to Johannesburg.

With paintings, installations, and new media works, the artist probes contemporary issues on nature, the environment and man’s relentless drive for advancement and blinded self-preservation. In today’s technological explosion, who is left unscathed, and who wins in the end? There is a resonance of textured reds and golds as in Ruiz’ past abstract paintings, with the appearance of a few concentric circles and daubs of raised textures that his artworks are known for, but his Simulation Hypothesis series of paintings are more studied, with smoothed over roughness and subdued fire. In brilliant colors of metallics and intense hues, these portray the attempt at control in the urban setting of grid-like cityscapes as seen from an encompassing bird’s eye perspective, or multi-colored computer motherboards that the artist has been fond of using since the early stages of his care... http://ronaldoruiz.multiply.com/reviews/item/6 Sat, 3 Nov 2007 19:50:41 -0000 REBORN Salute to 1980s GLT's 2007 Anniversary Celebretion Event August 22-31 Taipei http://ronaldoruiz.multiply.com/photos/album/21/TIPAF07_Taiwan Mon, 22 Oct 2007 16:52:45 -0000 RONALDO RUIZ presents his latest artworks in econversations on October 29, 2007, Monday 6:00 PM, at the Whitebox Studio in Cubao Expo, Romulo Ave. Araneta Center, Quezon City. Combining painting, installation, performance, kinetic sculptures and interactive new media works, the artist seeks dialogue between technology and the environment. In econversations, Ruiz invites the audience to interact with his work, creating site-specific and time-based ephemeral art experiences. “Communication grows with intervention,” the artist states, as organic elements are conceptually enmeshed with his abstract paintings and performance video. He manipulates plant life by adding them to found objects such as speakers and TV monitors, with the audience providing additional nuances to his artworks via circuit bending components. This multi-sensory experience questions the contemporary struggle of nature to catch up with technology as man asserts his futile attempt at conquering forces stronger... http://ronaldoruiz.multiply.com/calendar/item/10020/ECOnversation Fri, 19 Oct 2007 04:24:26 -0000 The ART ASSOCIATION OF THE PHILIPPINES, NCCA COMMITTEE ON VISUAL ARTS and the GSIS MUSEO NG SINING present the 60th AAP ANNUAL ART COMPETITION 2007 RULES AND REGULATIONS Kindly read the rules and regulations carefully.

COPYRIGHT 2004 Financial Times Ltd. (From Philippine Daily Inquirer) Byline: Constantino C. Tejero A THEME that hasn't ceased to fascinate artists and writers is the Unreal City. The vision is usually of a wasteland populated by semi-humans living a synthetic reality. A version of this dystopia is Ronaldo Ruiz's "Virtual World," 13 pieces in mixed media (acrylic, computer hardware discards, fiber, sand) and 25 smaller pieces in acrylic, recently displayed in Renaissance Gallery at the Artwalk, 4/L, Bldg. A, SM Megamall, Mandaluyong City. Eight of the large pieces are composed of central processing units and motherboards mounted on canvases, textured with abaca fiber and sand, then painted with acrylic, in red, green, ochre, gray, black, blue, maroon. These paintings are really reliefs on canvas. The imagery produced is that of a series of aerial shots of complexes of infrastructures, building compounds, or floor plans of a housing project, fa... http://ronaldoruiz.multiply.com/reviews/item/5 Thu, 6 Sep 2007 16:21:30 -0000 http://ronaldoruiz.multiply.com/links/item/6/ronaldo_ruiz Sun, 5 Aug 2007 18:00:11 -0000 http://ronaldoruiz.multiply.com/video/item/2/Santigwar_ Mon, 30 Jul 2007 18:35:36 -0000
