Ron Richmond

Art collector D. R. Heiniger captures the essence of Ron Richmond’s work by describing his paintings as “the presence of absence—or, the exquisite longing for the unattainable.”

Richmond has exhibited his paintings in solo and group shows in galleries and museums in major cities such as New York, Washington D.C., Houston, Atlanta, Scottsdale, San Francisco, and London. His work is collected by museums (BYU Museum of Art, Church History Museum, Springville Museum of Art); public collections (State of Utah, Salt Lake County, Snow College); corporations (Saks Fifth Avenue, United Airlines, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Hilton DoubleTree Hotels, Credit Suisse, Four Seasons Hotels); as well as by private individuals. He was commissioned by Utah State University to paint a mural that hangs in the Bingham Research Center in Vernal.

Richmond received M.F.A. and B.F.A. degrees from Brigham Young University. He has worked as a professional artist for 26 years, and is an adjunct professor of art at Snow College. Richmond competed as one of 12 finalists in the Grand Central Atelier Still Life Painting Competition in June, 2017. He was born in Denver, Colorado and currently lives in Mt. Pleasant, Utah.

“Visual magic without a larger purpose leads nowhere but to empty excess,” said Geoff Wichert in the online magazine 15bytes. “Ron Richmond … found a way out of this dilemma—a way to make art that is at once visually magical and yet substantial in content and meaning.”

Hicks, Ron

Ron Hicks was born in 1965 in Ohio, and lives and paints in Denver, Colorado. He is best known for his figures and interiors and his work has been described as a blend of representational art and impressionism. Art critics have compared his painting to those by Rembrandt and Daumier. His greatest influences are Sargent, Degas and Velasquez. Ron uses a muted palette and rarely uses pure color. He particularly favors gray as it allows him to “capture atmosphere, mood, and layers of emotion.” His painterly style is immediately recognizable and a favorite of collectors around the country.

Ron graduated from the Colorado Institute of Art and studied at the Art Students League under Quang Ho before he began teaching. His works have been the subject of many publications, including Southwest Art (4 articles since 2000; Artist to Watch 1998), International Artist (Sept 2001, “7 Foundational Truths of Traditional Academic Painting” by C.W. Mundy), American Artist (December 2001, Feature Artist), Art & Antiques (May 2000, “Emerging Artist-Ron Hicks”), Denver Post (Oct 1998), Art Talk (February 2000; October 1998), and Westword (June 1994, “Seeing is Believing”).

Cong, Lu

Over the past two decades, Lu Cong has made significant impact as an American portrait artist. Distinctive and mesmerizing, his portraits captured the viewer’s attention in ways as the most consummate artworks have.

Lu Cong was born in Shanghai in 1978. His family immigrated to the United States when he was 11 years old. His education included bachelor’s degrees in Biology and Art from the University of Iowa, master’s degree in Humanities from the University of Colorado, but the highest education that Lu Cong received was in his studio, there he delved deep into painting, drawing, mix media creation, writing and more, practices not only essential to his art, but necessary in becoming a more complete person.

Lu Cong is represented by Gallery Henoch in New York.
