statement

Ronnie Genotti

I value the beautiful ambiguity of uncertainty. It’s human nature to rush to categorize and define everything, but I find beauty in the in-between spaces where reality hasn’t fully committed itself, mostly experienced with memory. I try to capture the raw expressions of things I saw and felt.

I paint moments of profound uncertainty, like when you’re not sure if you were awake or dreaming or can’t remember if it really happened. Yet these moments glue us to our past. These moments are when reality is at its most malleable.

I try to map the impressions left behind, document these phenomena, and get them out into the world, pinning them like butterflies to a board so that I can examine them on my terms, not theirs.
