Aurie Ramirez

Aurie Ramirez’s sophisticated, delicately rendered watercolor and ink compositions create an ever-expanding fantasy world where fragments of 18th century dandyism, neo-Victorian decorum, psychedelia, Venetian masquerade, Glam Rock sex and Punk fetishism are repeated and transformed. Aurie’s work is largely inspired by the Addams Family and as a devoted fan of the rock band Kiss, she frequently pays homage to the group by painting the band or adapting their audacious fashion sense to otherwise mundane things like coffee cups or rainbows.

Aurie has exhibited her work in shows at White Columns and Gavin Brown’s enterprise, New York, Jack Hanley Gallery, Los Angeles, ABCD in Paris, and Collection de l’Art Brut, Lausanne. Aurie’s work is included in the private collections of Nicolas Rohatyn and Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, Eileen and Michael Cohen, Martin and Rebecca Eisenberg, Donald and Mera Rubell, among many others.
