RONNY QUEVEDO
Ronny Quevedo (b. 1981 in Guayaquil, Ecuador) works in a variety of mediums including sculpture and drawing. His work "posits profound interconnections between the circular movements engendered by sport and the expansive pathways forged by the artist’s personal migration story from Ecuador to the Bronx," Ananda Cohen-Aponte writes in Hyperallergic. Quevedo holds an MFA from the Yale School of Art (2013) and BFA from The Cooper Union (2003).
Solo exhibitions of note include Field of Play at Open Source, Brooklyn, NY (2019); The Sixth Man at James Fuentes Gallery, NY (2019); no hay medio tiempo / there is no halftime at the Queens Museum (2017); Home Field Advantage at Casita Maria Center for Arts & Education, Bronx, NY (2015); and Ulama, Ule, Olé at Carol Jazzar Gallery, Miami, FL (2013).
