Ronny Quevedo (b.1981) was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador and lives and works in New York, NY. Quevedo’s practice spans installation, drawings, and prints, incorporating and subverting aspects of abstraction, painting, collage, cartography, and sports imagery. Deeply engaged with notions of identity, Quevedo reenvisions pre- and post-colonial iconographies. The recuperation of Indigenous languages of abstraction, revalorization of their associated labor, and centering of a living connection between contemporary and centuries-old cultural markers are foundational to Quevedo’s ongoing practice.
