Ever New references new beginnings, transformations, rebirth, and renewed visions. In making this work, Ransom was inspired by the song of the same name by Beverly Glenn-Copeland, from his 1986 album Keyboard Fantasies.

Comprised of forms that allude to flowers, landscapes, glyphs and creatures, Ransom’s semi-monochromatic works project a serene yet powerful psychological space that the artist cultivates with care. Siting a goal to uncover new shapes and make visual that which is more typically felt, Ransom carefully resolves each work to allow for an openness of meaning and a multitude of associations.

Ransom’s work is timely — visionary imagery from Hilma af Klint and Agnes Pelton have captured our 21st century imaginations. Ransom’s practice comes from a similar insistence on the importance of the feeling; the implicit true-ness of a certain kind of painting.
