Tour of Ron Zito’s Studio

Wednesday, March 11th, 2026, 10:30AM

In Ron’s work in contemporary realism, he tries to capture the meaning of the Latin phrase, finitum capax infiniti, “the finite is capable of the infinite,” which means that there is no access to the infinite except through the finite.
In some respects, Ron has become a chronicler of empty spaces. He believes that we leave something of ourselves behind in the spaces we inhabit, either in the physical changes we make, or because of the dings and dents of time. Therefore, in a sense, there are no real empty spaces.

Compositionally, the way material things have been left behind is of key importance to Ron’s work. The way a piece of furniture sits in a room, the marking on an old wall, the industrial detritus left behind on the land, the way an empty shelf protrudes from a wall, these things bear testimony to the people who have moved on. The mute objects are not really silent.
