Ron Weijers

Weijers translates his creativity and visions into three different creative disciplines, photography, painting and music.

As a painter, through the years he continuously developed by means of materials used, technic and concept. As a result of his background in graphic design and communication, his free work had been strongly influenced hereby in a graphical sense. Through the past years he managed to disconnect himself psychologically from this background. Weijers mainly paints on wooden panels and his work could be described as multi-layered mix media (collage, acrylic, oil pastel, graphite and mounted objects).. His high levels of productivity continuously generate a further developing flow of paintings.
The most recent series of paintings 'artifacts', by this Dutch (Rotterdam) painter, are based on a characteristic abstract language of signs and shapes. Within his paintings he reveals a deeper meaning and reflects his view on contemporary issues. By reaching a state of liberation from existing patterns, the interplay of lines is dominated by the metamorphosis which conceals the evaluation of his work from the source. The spectator's fantasy is stimulated by the intuitive and specific combination of colour, material and shape, thus seducing the spectator towards an alternative view on this world. Weijers' personal quest to find the balance between tranquillity and tension initiates his painting process in general. His work is the ultimate medium to communicate with himself and with others. His paintings are on exhibit in several galleries in the Netherlands and Germany.

As a photographer he targets in on “catching” an objective, but also an alternative vision. Photographic projects like 'Throw away your TV!', 'It's a stars & stripes circus out there', 'Get Connected with Phonarchy', 'Spray-com 2006', 'LA - drive-by shooting', 'Target rush-hour' and 'Fixx the game', reveal a deeper meaning by concept and reflect his vision on social and political issues and discussions from this time. His photographic work is shown in galleries in the Netherland, Germany and the United States.
His photographic vision on New York is at this moment used for the development of several publications like “Manhattan Transfer” and the series of six books “Alter Vision”.
His paintings and photographic work is represented by gallery Pakhuis 6, Rotterdam, the Netherlands

As a musician Weijers released approximately two CD projects a year using the name “Global Frequency” over the past five years.
He writes and arranges the music and produces these musical projects. The recordings of these projects are realised in corporation with an international group of musical friends (US/NL). So far, his musical activities resulted into the release of nine CD’s during the past few years.
The urge to integrate art and music in one project, resulted in his latest production, currently still under development. Global Frequency - Tabasco Tabernacle, a DVD production, containing 12 audio tracks together with 12 video clips. This audio-visual project is been developed together with the artist Easton Davy and Willem van Veldhuizen, coordinating the participation of a further 12 Dutch and American artists and an equally international group of musicians. Tabasco Tabernacle is due for release around May 2007. A series of gallery presentations of the project in the Netherlands and the USA are planned to introduce the project towards the public.
