    Ryan Gray & Dean Ramos

    nov 12 – dec 8, 2023

    This exhibit features the work of two MiraCosta College Art Faculty: Ryan Gray and Dean Ramos. Gray’s work is often an attempt to shed light on the devastation that nuclear and chemical contamination has on our bodies and environments. Ramos uses a variety of materials to create artworks that range from abstract explorations of materials and forms to depictions of the body that investigate psychological and emotional states.

    Fold/Unfolded

    Ving Simpson

    Oct 10 – Nov 3, 2023

    Ving Simpson’s intent in creating art is to unfold the inherent nature of something an idea, a rule, a notion, a person, or a thing-and uncover an artistic understanding of the essence of its existence. He uses his artistic process to edify himself, using what he considers an alternate channel of perception to circumvent the folded (Cartesian, analytic, logical, linguistic) approach to knowledge. Though difficult to describe the process in words, Ving has discovered that a number of topics have yielded to this process. The idea of numbers deepens. The quality of warriors clarifies. The enigma of space and time unravels and the universe drops some of its inscrutability.

    Ving uses this artistic frame of mind, where form and color, material and method, join with unfolded intent to infiltrate the big questions of life in this big universe of ours. The artwork is what is left over.
