The Newark Museum of Art
$35.00
Born in Tenares, Salcedo, Dominican Republic, Bony Ramirez now lives and works in Perth Amboy, New Jersey. His art bridges his Dominican heritage and contemporary life, combining painting and drawing to create life-size mixed media portraits. Ramirez's work features bold, mysterious figures on painted wood panels, reflecting Caribbean history and European colonial influence. Incorporating materials like wallpaper, swords, and rhinestones, his pieces offer a rich, allegorical depth, drawing inspiration from Mannerist and Renaissance portraiture.
