Ahh... my friend Ron DeLegge, crazy crazy man (never forget being picked up at the LA airport by Ron after a particularly grueling session with an Air France employee over OVERweight luggage, and Ron threatening to "go to the top to get a little respect" wearing a new helmet he made out of scraps of wood that looked more like a cross between a birdhouse and an orange crate).  Hardly met another artist quite like him, in fact, no one person that had the capacity to say so much with so little to work with - a bright man that gives you the impression that he's walking along with you until you realize he's walking in a parallel world - and one that is so much more interesting then ours.

No, Ron didn't install the water fountain in the gallery, but the architect who designed the gallery space did... clever no?  Besides, good art should always get you hot and bothered and thirsty enough for more.  However, if you look closely you'll see two little cockroaches squirming around just as you bend down to take that sip of water.  A simple yet disconcerting piece by Ron, with rubber vaseline coated
bugs as decoys.  Moms all over America have had the same joke played on them a thousand times already, the difference between kids and their pranks, and artists, is that there is none - it works every time and that's the beauty and ART within it all.
