Paul Henry Ramirez’s paintings and drawings are vibrant, playful, and exuberant, loopy curls and blobs that spit and drool streams of color down the page. Images in his works are based on internal and external elements of the human body squeezed and pushed into liquid, oozy forms. At once evoking a childish, whimsical innocence, the works are simultaneously provocative, sensuous, and suggestive. This opposition is the essence of Ramirez's work.  Juicy, swirling paint suggests the internal and external rhythm of the body.
