Ronald Young
Untitled, 1981
Ron Young is well-known for his fascination with Pre-Colombian cultures that manifests in his work. His art becomes a metaphor between the past and the present, a sculptural meditation upon the relevance of Mayan culture in current society. Incorporated in Young's work are Mayan architectural symbols, weapons, and art. Three-dimensional objects are also included on the canvases which depict Mayan mythology. The majority of his work is cast bronze and aluminum with wood, stone, and resin. Each sculpture and painting contains a real piece of the past. |
