Martín Ramírez at Ricco/Maresca, NY
October 26 – December 2, 2017
"Martín Ramírez…A Journey" features sophisticated compositions by the self-taught Mexican-born artist. Integrating the figurative and the abstract, Ramírez's works fuse organic elements drawn from nature, representational conventions of topographic maps, with geometric and architectural forms. His subjects are inspired by his life and rooted in the history, culture, and geography of his Mexican and Californian worlds.

Hiroyuki Doi in Tokyo
until December 25, 2017
See circle drawings by Japanese self-taught artist Hiroyuki Doi at Ozu Washi in Tokyo, through December 25.
In his works Doi alludes to such subjects as the soul, the transmigration of the soul, the cosmos, the co-existence of living creatures, human cells, human dialogue and universal peace. He does so by creating images that consist of many small circles made with black-ink drawing pens on washi paper.
