I went to blue star this past Thursday and saw a great show at Justice Works studio. Ramon Montoya had graduated last Spring and we hadn’t seen or heard from him in a few months and then he came out with this series of images. They are a pun on the word signs put out every Sunday mass by local Catholic Churches. It is difficult to describe the artistic humor that Ramon displays. I think it is safe to say that actions speak louder than words. His printing is beautifully done and the figures look stunning. But once one realizes what the nudes are mimicking his imagery becomes hilarious and engaging. The humor might be considered crude to some standards because of its perverse nature; however, one has to set aside some reservations in order to enjoy the work for what it is. If you haven't had a chance to go see the work up at blue star you should make the trip because the card I received from the show doesn't do it justice.
