RON BURKHARDT RETURNS TO THE HAMPTONS

After 3 years of exhibitions and awards in Europe, Brazil, California, Chicago, Palm Beach and Miami, Ron Burkhardt returned to the Hamptons for a one-man show of his Notism genre of abstract contemporary art at Peter Marcelle's Hampton Road Gallery in Southampton. Despite the fact that there were a half dozen major glittering galas the same evening, Burkhardt’s show drew over 300 of the East End’s most prominent art connoisseurs and legions of fans to this stunning exhibition of provocative new works. Burkhardt is the founder of the Notism abstract art movement, evolved hieroglyphics that form a unique visual record as he documents personal histories. In seeking to preserve intimate human writing, his primal work explores the power of words, symbols and language, and confronts the frenetic, multi-tasking overload of modern society.Touted on NBC as "the newest form of art out there," and by art critic/curator Peter Frank as "an art form whose inexactitude is a crucial part of its beauty...with an impressive pedigree. Miro, Klee, Cy Twombly, Basquiat and Jean Dubuffet could all have been "notists" as it were..."Burkhardt has been honored with 30 shows in the past six years and featured on NBC-TV. Details about his work may be found on HERE.

  • Not sure, but I think this is the same Ron Burkhardt I won a Clio award with back in 1984 when we were at Y&R together. Am I right? If so, I just can't believe it! Good for him. Tom B.

  • James Edstrom must have some sort of 'talent homing device'; he is always ahead of the crowd in picking and/or finding the next 'hottest' talent; I'm sure Ron Burkhardt is talented if James is touting him; I KNOW he is HOT!
