Ron Sims is a fine artist and artist-printmaker based in Essex
Ron Sims has been regularly exhibiting his work, which is held in both public and private collections, for over 40 years.
For Ron the psychological implications of turning soft imagery into a hard-edge, rigid-block representation are a vital element in his work.
Ron derives pleasure from producing fine-tuned, sometimes discordant, relationships between colours and tones. The tension and conflict in Ron's colour-clashes are unified by geometric shapes and the hard edges enclosing them - creating three-dimensional effects.
The "double-take" is also an important ingredient - it is through this that Sims explores incongruous and unusual ideas.
