Ron Langin

Ron Langin was born in Sudbury in 1949. The Sudbury landscape and people are an endless source of inspiration for Langin. His unique perspective has been colored by his involvement over the years with “The Drawing Circle”, a group of artists dedicated to the practice of life drawing; ”Malcontents”, a band of activists who accomplished their mission to save the Laurentian University Museum and Arts collective.  Langin has been painting and contributing to the artistic life of the community since 1985.

Langin had a solo exhibition in January 2004 at La Galarie du Nouvel- Ontario in Sudbury entitled “The Memento Mori Project”.  It was a visual remembrance and homage to the deceased citizens of his community as well as an acknowledgement of his own mortality.

In June 2007, Langin created a video entitled “The News” with performance artists at an event hosted by the La Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario, a Francophone artist-run centre.

Langin participated in the “Burlington Art Centre / Art Gallery of Sudbury Exchange Project” which started in July 2008 to encourage and support regional artists’ connections with galleries and artist communities outside of their respective communities, and to facilitate the exchange of ideas and experiences among Ontario artists.  The project culminated in a six week exhibition at the Burlington Art Centre.
