Collection: Ron Copeland

Ron is a multidisciplinary artist currently living in Pittsburgh. Originally from Canton, Ohio, his post-industrial aesthetic and mantra of reclaim and recycle derives from growing up in the Rust Belt region. His early work focused on photographing blighted buildings, factories and defunct signage, which also became content for screen prints and paintings. Ron then began collecting found and salvaged materials, creating work in sculpture, painting, assemblage and lighting. By salvaging pieces of the past, his work celebrates our collective history.
