Suspensions
February 6 – March 6

A minimalist artwork featuring a light grey background with subtle, soft, cloud-like formations spreading across the canvas. The ethereal design evokes a sense of calm and tranquility.
A close-up of a white, textured surface with an uneven raised circular pattern in the center. The pattern appears to be created by tearing or sculpting the material, giving it a rough and organic look. The background is uniformly white.
A black-and-white sketch of railroad tracks stretching into the distance, flanked by power poles and buildings on both sides. The scene appears deserted and stretches into a vanishing point, creating a sense of depth and perspective.
A faint black and white sketch shows a narrow path meandering between two gently sloping hills. The scene is misty, with muted, indistinct details, creating a sense of calm and quiet. The background fades into a foggy horizon.
Faint pencil sketch of a rural scene featuring a long dirt road flanked by open fields and barbed-wire fences. A small house is nestled near the road's end with mountains visible in the background. The overall image is very light and minimalistic.
Abstract image with delicate, wispy white cloud-like formations against a minimalistic, light gray background. The texture is soft and ethereal, creating a sense of lightness and movement across the canvas.
An individual with short hair, wearing a dark teal cardigan, stands closely observing an intricate, abstract wall installation composed of delicate, hanging shapes on a plain light-colored wall. The artwork casts subtle shadows that form a circular pattern.
A person with dark hair, wearing a black leather jacket and glasses, stands facing a white wall. On the wall, there is an abstract art piece comprised of fragmented, jagged shapes forming a circular pattern, resembling a disintegrating circle.
Two people stand in front of a blank wall with a faint, abstract shape in an art gallery. The space is minimalistic with a grey carpeted floor and plain walls. The viewers appear to be contemplating the subtle artwork.
Two men are standing and chatting next to a table. The table has pink tulips in a vase, snacks in bowls, several bottles of water and wine, stacked plastic cups, and a pile of napkins. One man holds a drink while the other looks towards him.
Three people observe an empty, off-white art gallery wall. The person closest to the camera wears a dark puffer jacket and brown pants. The other two, further away, are a person in a yellow jacket and jeans and another in dark clothing. The room is dimly lit.
A group of people are gathered in an art gallery, engaging in conversation. They are dressed in casual winter clothing and stand around a table with bottles and refreshments. The gallery walls are mostly blank, with some faint text visible in the background.

Press Release

Richard Levy Gallery is pleased to present Suspensions, an installation by  Dean Ramos. This exhibition consists of three limited editions published by Richard Levy Editions. Derived from ultrasound patterns of the human heart, the Suspensions are cut from frosted acrylic sheets that overlap one another. Each layer is hung at varying distances from the wall  by transparent threads and are activated by light and shadow.

In the project room, the gallery presents The Road Series, five gold point drawings  on gessoed panels also by Dean Ramos. These drawings are adapted from photographs depicting various urban and rural settings.

Dean Bienvenido Ramos was educated in Chicago before earning his M.F.A. from the University of New Mexico in 2002. He currently lives and works in Albuquerque.
