Visual Artist

Since my introduction at a major survey show, Forum 76 at the Montreal Beaux Arts, I have been exhibiting in Toronto, Calgary, Montreal and New York. I work in a variety of media with a focus on abstraction. The most common elements in my work are pleasure and balance. I have pieces in collections in Japan, Hong Kong, Denmark, France, England and the US. In 2015, I moved to a wonderful property in Niagara-on-the-Lake, where I have opened a gallery, Ronald Boaks Collectibles. In the gallery are paintings, sculptures, still life photographs, prints, collages, ceramic work and painted vases. Please ask if you are looking for something in a particular size or colour as there are more pieces available. I welcome enquiries from dealers and galleries.

Still Life Photographs

If the essence of Abstract Painting is to “be”, as in alive now, the essence of the Still Life Photographs is to capture the alive now. If Abstract Painting “is”, a Still Life Photograph “was”, existing as a set up composition at a precise moment in time. The photographs are set up in my studio and...
