Ron Mills' paintings reveal what is weak in creation, fragile and delicate, in a powerful world that is alive with explosions of color and beautiful molecular sub-realities.

In Mills' work we can experience the deconstruction of what is, and the threat to what we think is concrete and real. We do not know whether we are witnessing the beginning or the end, but we know that we are witnessing the essence of organic life through molecular metamorphosis in all its color, texture, and sometimes its terrible beauty.
