1957, Las Vegas, Nevada
Ron Veasey’s brilliantly colored portraits are inspired by a wide range of source material, including fashion magazines, photography books, and National Geographic. Veasey isolates figures on the page, outlining them in black marker and filling the flattened forms with bold colors and patterns. By capturing subtle details, direct gazes, and strong poses, Veasey highlights confident and intense personas. He has honed his approach over more than forty years at Creative Growth.
