Ron Gorchov: An Interview

Ron Gorchov paints on convex/concave saddle-shape canvases with recurring pairs of symmetrical, oar-like images. These unique frames have become the basis for a wide range of experimentation through the use of color, surface, form, and shape.

“It wasn’t until 1970, when the first real photographs of the planet Earth astounded everyone, … [that] you could say objectively that never before was an object seen that was so beautiful. Then, I thought, ‘That’s what we have to compete with’,” Gorchov says in this interview with Kate Horsfield.

A historical interview originally recorded in 1979.
