He also gained notability for his site-specific installations as his paintings began to expand outside the confines of the canvas edges onto the walls of the gallery space. These site-specific installations gradually evolved to encompass the whole gallery space, creating a full environmental experience. Donald Kuspit, scholar and art critic, describes Ramirez as “an important new kind of abstract painter . . . an abstractionist playing with color and form to exciting imaginative effect.”[2] WorkRamirez began creating site-specific installations in 1994, combining drawings, paintings, objects, sculpture, music, dance, and furniture in dialogue with architectural space and architectural elements, sometimes in collaboration with sound designers, dance choreographers, costume designers, and furniture designers. His "total environments" are intended to invite viewers to experience in addition to observe, to feel as if “they are coming into the belly of a painting”[3] as they enter his world — his installation. These were first featured in New York City alternative exhibition spaces including the Drawing Center (1994), Clock Tower Gallery (1995) and Franklin Furnace (1995); and at Caren Golden Fine Art, New York (1998). CareerRamirez moved from his native Texas to New Jersey in 1985, then to New York City a few years later to design window and interior displays for retailers Henri Bendel, Charivari, and Takashimaya. In 1994, he set up a studio in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn, NY, later moving his studio to the Motor Arts Building studio complex at the Grounds For Sculpture, Hamilton, New Jersey. He is represented by Ryan Lee Gallery, New York. Exhibits and collectionsRamirez has exhibited his work throughout the United States and Europe since 1982, including at Museo de Arte de Ciudad Juárez (1982), The Contemporary Austin (1997), Brooklyn Museum of Art (1997), Bronx Museum of Art (1997), Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum (1998), Corcoran Gallery of Art (2000), Museo del Barrio (2000), Cincinnati Museum of Art (2001), Whitney Museum of American Art (2002), Newark Museum (2011), Museo de Arte de Ponce (2012), and Smithsonian American Art Museum (2013).
