To mark Artnet Auctions’ Art of the Americas sale, we spoke to Dominican artist Bony Ramirez about art and identity:
. This painting depicts a man in the countryside. He’s holding his winning rooster and a machete. To the side, there is a rooster that is dying. He is barefoot in the countryside. This work is specific to the life that I left in the Republic; rooster fighting is very common in my country.
My work also deals with topics of colonialism in the Caribbean, as a way of informing people about what happened, how it happened, how we got our language, and how we got our traditions.is a painting of a woman laying down with a mask and torturing this man. It’s not a literal story, but it’s almost like a metaphor for the reconquering of the land.
Race in the Caribbean, and Latin American at large, is treated very differently than in the United States. What I notice about your figures is a universality; characters of every color, shape, size, and stage of life. Later, while doing research, I came across the work of Francis Bacon, and through him, I discovered Picasso, which took me back to the Renaissance. I discovered the Mannerist movement. I was looking for artists that really dealt with examining the human form and human body. I was never good at proportions in school. So, I really wanted to embrace that part of me and take it to the next level.
