Throughout his career, Ronald Slowinski produced several distinct series of works, each series shared a similar narrative through various progressions. This composition from the Hopi Flower series colorfully abstracts and plays on Native American motifs, including Hopi pottery decoration, within a spirited play of architectural motifs. Ron earned a certificate in painting from the Art Institute of Chicago in 1954 and had his first one person show in 1957 at the famed Wells St. Gallery. This newly established avant-garde exhibition space was founded by, and showcased the works of, some of the city's youngest and most advanced abstractionists of the time. Artists including Robert Natkin and John Chamberlain. Ron considered those post-war years in Chicago, where he worked solely at making art, to be his equivalent of grad school. He would go on to teach at the Kansas City Art Institute for 39 years and participate in more than 60 exhibitions of his work, 25 or more being one person shows. Canvas measures 48 x 36 inches.
