Studio history

The work of Ron Laboray has been displayed in museums, special project spaces, not for profits and galleries in cities such as Los Angeles, Chicago, Taiwan, Japan, Memphis, Tennessee Sadalia, and St. Louis, Missouri.

His exhibition "After The C.E." at the University of Missouri was reviewed in Art in America [1] magazine.

The website of [2] Peter Miller Gallery in Chicago describes Laboray's art as merging abstract painting and a pseudoscientific method to create a visual archive of popular culture. This method appropriates existing laws found in sciences, like the Law of Superposition, and the artist's sculptural mixed media mechanisms. The mediums used range from the digital to plastic, aluminum, auto lacquer, decals and marker which are all metaphoric of popular culture. Abstract painting's beautiful object collides with a color-coded archive based on mass culture elements like television, cinema. comic books and advertising.
