STATEMENT

'My religion is to trust myself'. My process involves creating art quickly to produce works which represent a particular moment in time. Years of study and experimentation have made significant contributions to my work. But simply trusting my instincts has encouraged more interesting results and has allowed me to avoid difficulties related to paralysis by analysis. There is often an appropriate amount of breathing between various aspects, layers or gestures within each work. But those breaths are also within the same period of time and space, so each new element still feels and looks like it emanated from materials which came before it.

BIO

Troy Ramos (b. 1975) is an artist based in metro Detroit, Michigan. He creates paintings and sound, light and video installations. He has received over a dozen grants in the last few years to support his work, including support from MCACA, ArtPrize, W.K. Kellogg Foundation, ArtMile Detroit, Arts Council of Greater Kalamazoo, the Battle Creek Community Foundation and others. He earned an MA in Music Composition from the University of York in England (2008) and began working as an installation artist in 2013.
