Storms' eclipe Painting

Formed as an architect, Juan Ranieri (1969), Buenos Aires, Argentina, currently resides in Miami, Florida. His intense training in the field of architectural drawing during times when computers were not easily available led him to explore different mediums and techniques to represent both buildings and urban ideas. Through the concept of plants, cuts, facades, and axonometries, he began exploring the significance of those cities and buildings and their interrelations with the societies which inhabit them, giving place, in many cases, to a socio-political, ethic and aesthetic reading of the urban context. He received awards in Salón Nacional de Dibujo, Argentina; Premio Telecom, cover for the Phone Directory of Buenos Aires; Drawing Discourse, Asheville University NC; Premio Quinquela Martín, Windsor&Newton a Calendar for ‘2000, London; Premio Novartis, A Monument for Khalil Gibran, Buenos Aires, Urban Landscape Prize, Epperson Gallery, Crockett, CA among others. In 2022 he received The Gottlieb Foundation Individual Grant among seven hundred artists all around the world. His work is part of important collections like Merrill Lynch; McDonald’s Argentina; Telecom; Museo Quinquela Martín; Colección Fortabat; Molaa (Museum of Latin American Art Los Angeles, CA; Coral Gables Museum, Miami, FL; UADE Art, Universidad Argentina de la Empresa, among others.
