Biography

I’m Ron Mavin, but by brand I go by ‘VISRON’ - A merge of vision and Ron! I’m an illustrator, artist and day dreamer - I currently practice in Sydney, NSW where I am studying a Bachelor of Fine Arts at the National Art School, Darlinghurst. When I’m away from page and pencil, I love writing poetry, reading the New Philosopher magazine, playing around with film-making, geocaching, beach wandering for shells, running, observing the local cockatoos and jamming to S U R V I V E.

Artists Statement

I create within the entanglement of illustration, digital media and fine art - divisions fragmented by rapid cultural turnovers. Working across painting, drawing, sculpture, video and digital processes I investigate these feedback loops of accumulation and circulation - consume, create, consume. Our continual ‘pursuit of the new’ generates a visual detritus where aesthetics and information systems are continually abandoned. These scraps of eye-candy and bubblegum colour form my methodology for working material as I create in the lineage of the kitsch and low-brow, echoing Murakami’s superflat theories. In operating within the cultural juggernaut of icons and pop culture, I locate a playful pulse beating against passive consumption. In doing so, I create in the spirit of reading the back of a mascot-plastered, sugar-centric cereal box.
