Ronny Quevedo’s artistic practice is an examination of the vernacular languages and aesthetic forms generated by displacement, migration, and resilience.  Inspired by his own family history and migration, Quevedo transcribes the graphics of locality, community,  and remembered environments directly into his work. Lines and markings from basketball and indoor futbol courts, freehand signage, and milk crates are just a few of the forms that find their way into Quevedo’s transcriptions; allowing  the work to simultaneously  serve as an homage to the narratives of historically marginalized peoples, and a platform for dialogue and community engagement on continued practices of marginalization.
