FOUND:RE Contemporary and FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel Debut Exhibition by Christina Ramirez April 19

On Friday, April 19, FOUND:RE Contemporary and the FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel, located at 1100 N. Central Ave., debut their newest exhibition, “Terra Form” featuring a collection of pieces by local artist Christina Ramirez. This solo show will open with a reception on April 19 from 6-9 p.m. and remain on display through Sunday, July 14.

“Terra Form” explores the ideas of sustainability in the studio through the use of non-traditional art materials such as cardboard, paper and canvas that might otherwise be discarded.

“We are thrilled to present the works of Christina Ramirez that showcase true talent, creativity and awareness,” says Chris Genung, general manager of FOUND:RE Phoenix Hotel. “The artworks chosen for this exhibition shine a spotlight on our ‘disposable culture’ and the waste produced in our everyday lives, most notably, the shipping waste created with the increase in online shopping.”

Ramirez is a process painter who experiments with paint mediums in her craft. She is inspired by nature and the world around her. A resident of downtown Phoenix, Ramirez contributed to the foundation of Roosevelt Row First Fridays by organizing two art collectives, running a gallery and pursuing painting full-time. She is the recipient of grants from the Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture, Arizona Commission on the Arts, ASU, Vermont Studio Center and Contemporary Forum.

The exhibition will be presented as part of FOUND:RE Contemporary’s regular schedule of rotating exhibitions organized by curators Jordan Zurn and DeKayshia Sullivan. The works will be for sale in person and at foundrecontemporary.com.
