Ron Otis- Acrylic Abstract Painter
Ron Otis
My work is rooted in the exploration of contrast, texture, and
pattern. Using acrylic paint, I create abstract compositions that
emphasize the interaction between layered surfaces and bold
visual elements. I’m drawn to the tension and harmony that can
emerge through unexpected juxtapositions-smooth against
rough, dark, beside light, structured forms meeting organic
chaos.
Beyond the canvas, I work in three-dimensional forms using
resin epoxy to craft functional art pieces like candle holders, soap dishes, and coasters. These pieces allow me to bring fine art into everyday spaces while continuing to experiment with color, transparency, and surface.
As a self-taught artist, my journey has been shaped by curiosity, trial and error, and a deep appreciation for the creative process-guided in part by online resources and the encouragement of artists like Bob Ross. I am a proud member of The Broadway
Gallery, and in 2025, my acrylic paintings were featured in the Columbia Artists Annual Spring Show, a meaningful step in my evolving practice.
