He holds a BFA in painting from the University of Cincinnati, an MFA in painting and drawing from James Madison University, and has attended a variety of workshops in art and design. Before coming to the University of Evansville, Mr. Larmann worked in Chicago for two years as a muralist for Kozan Studios and Anubis Studios on a variety of trompe l'oeil paintings and broken tile mosaics. His works have been exhibited at the Indianapolis Museum of Art, Greater Lafayette Museum of Art, Evansville Museum of Arts and Science, Trumbull Art Gallery, Southern Indiana Center for the Arts, and many other college and university galleries.
Mr. Larmann is a former President of FATE (Foundation in Art: Theory and Education); a national association of art educators focused on art foundations programs and art fundamentals. He also recently published ArtExperience, a CD-ROM packaged with the text, Understanding Art.
Mr. Larmann's two web sites, Art Studio Chalkboard; (http://studiochalkboard.evansville.edu/) and Figure Drawing Lab (http://drawinglab.evansville.edu/), have been featured in American Artist Magazine, The Artist's Magazine, The Chronicle of Higher Education, BBC Online, and are listed on a plethora of online search engines.
Ralph Larmann's current works are collections of memories, stories, and visual forms intended to be seen as a piece of visual folklore. They are expressions that note the importance of fictions as an integral part of our identity and psyche.
