Atlantic Gallery is pleased to present Crossings: Monotypes by Roni Sherman Ramos, on view June 2 – 20, 2026. An Opening Reception will be held for the artist on June 6, 2 – 4pm.

Roni Ramos presents Crossings, a new body of monotype prints that explore perception as a shifting and unstable experience. Each work, created through a process that resists repetition, captures a moment of transition—where image and absence intersect. 

In these prints, forms appear and dissolve in layered fields of ink. The compositions suggest movement across boundaries: between clarity and obscurity, structure and disintegration. Rather than fixed representations, the works invite a slower, more searching kind of looking. 

Monotype, with its inherent unpredictability, becomes central to the artist’s approach. Each print carries the trace of its making—pressure, interruption, and chance—echoing the fragile and changing nature of vision itself.

Crossings offers a quiet, immersive encounter with transformation. It is a meditation on how we see, what we hold onto, and how we move through uncertainty.

Artist Statement — Crossings

These prints emerge from a place where seeing is no longer fixed. Edges soften, forms hesitate, and what was once certain begins to move.

Working in monotype allows each image to exist as a singular event—unrepeatable, like a moment of vision itself. Ink is pressed, lifted, and interrupted. My experience with a master printer has become an essential part of this process. The physical act of building each monotype and embracing unpredictability mirrors the emotional terrain within the pieces themselves. The process requires trust, patience, and openness to accident. Something is always lost in the transfer, but something else arrives in its place.

In this space of transition, perception becomes an act of navigation. Shapes dissolve into fields, and fields gather into fragments again. The eye crosses through them, searching—not for clarity, but for relation.

Crossings speaks to thresholds: between presence and absence, recognition and obscurity, holding and letting go. These works do not attempt to restore what is disappearing, but to attend to what remains—and what becomes possible in its wake.
