NILS STÆRK is pleased to invite you to the opening of Matthew Ronay’s solo exhibition Fruitbody on the 24th of May, from 4:30 until 7pm. During the opening the gallery will host an Artist Talk with Ronay, which will talk place from 4:30 until 5pm.
Fruitbody, Matthew Ronay's sixth solo exhibition at NILS STÆRK, unveils new wall-based and freestanding dyed basswood sculptures that invite viewers into a realm where tangible forms intertwine with metaphysical energies.
The works on view present unexpected, perplexing objects, revealing intriguing configurations, further enhanced by an appealingly unrelated yet harmonious color spectrum, meticulously developed with Ronay’s longtime collaborator and life partner, Bengü. While the exhibition title serves as a threshold—we encounter shapes emerging out of one another, seemingly natural structures, fruitbodies, intertwining with organic, abstract elements. Through the deconstruction of context, Ronay creates parables of the familiar and the uncannily bizarre, ultimately challenging perceptions of reality.
Fruitbody brings forth the core of Ronay's artistry, grounded in his profound understanding of form, where seemingly disparate objects give rise to something surprisingly synthesized while immersing viewers in a haptic experience, prompting reflection on the interconnection of humanity and the natural world.
