Ron Bechet Art for Sale at Auction

b. 1956 -

New Orleans native Ron Bechet earned a BA from the University of New Orleans and MFA from Yale School of Art, returning to New Orleans in 1982 to teach and create art. He is a former longtime chairman of the art department and a current professor of art at Xavier University of Louisiana. Bechet?s preferred medium is large-scale painting and drawing, and his work is often inspired by south Louisiana. "His works explore the interstitial zone between ideas, such as reality and illusion; the boundary where both entities exist or are possible." Trees are a common subject of Bechet?s work, and he has uncovered unlimited potential in their varied forms.
