From New York Art Beat:

“ ‘From the most tender brutalities to the most devastating sensitivities’ is how Ran Ortner describes the subtle range of his work. A one-time professional motorcycle racer, and extreme sports enthusiast, Ortner relishes the physicality of his art process—an exchange of blows with the canvas like those of battering waves against his surfboard. ‘The arc of movement, the range of movement, up and off the ladder, back, that moving in and out while I am painting feels like a dance. You’re both exhausted and you’re touched by the magnitude of the process.’ ”
