Ron Gorchov

Ron Gorchov (1930-) is an American artist who has been working with curved surface paintings since 1967. [Ron Gorchov, Answers to Gavin Spanierman Questionnaire, 2007] . Gorchov's primary invention consists of finely fitted, curved wooden frames resembling shields or saddles, across which is stretched linen or canvas. He uses simple paired strokes to create images that play with asymmetry within a basically symmetrical design, creating his emblematic doubled or mirrored image. [Robert Storr, catalog essay, 1990] .

Gorchov's paintings are in many prominent collections, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Guggenheim.
