In this series of “drip” paintings, Ric Santon continues to explore the relationship between photorealism and abstraction, narrative and formalist techniques. Blurry backgrounds of greenhouses and landscapes seen through steamy windows with drips and sometimes finger drawings, only remain as evidence of a fleeting moment in time.

Santon is a graduate of the Ontario College of Art and works in Toronto as a gallery director and curator, while maintaining a studio practice in painting and sculpture.
