Ruiz-Healy Art is honored to represent the estate of Chuck Ramirez who was born April 29, 1986, and passed away on November 6, 2026. We are pleased to present the work of Ramirez at in our upcoming exhibition, 20 Years: Ruiz-Healy Art, a group exhibition featuring 20 artists represented in the gallery’s program, celebrating two decades of Ruiz-Healy Art.

“If Ramirez celebrates the impermanent, he does so by making the temporary object a permanent work of art. Oscillating between the discarded and the monumental, the candy trays’ emptiness—excepting the later Fouquet, Paris and its half-eaten chocolates—becomes yet more poignant. After his death, the Whataburger cup’s dictum, ‘When I am empty please dispose of me properly,’ is particularly moving; so too are the candy trays’ emptiness and the knowledge that the trays themselves face discarding not long after the taking of the photograph. Candy Trays becomes the then-living artist’s meditation on mortality and an effort to sustain life in the face of its constant loss.” -Essay by Ariel Evans. Work originally commissioned by Artpace | San Antonio

Chuck Ramirez (1962–2010) (@chuckramirezestate) was a San Antonio-based artist with a reverence for material culture. After years as a graphic designer and art director, he turned to making art full-time, using the objects that lined store shelves and filled home pantries as a reflection of who we are as humans. In his photographs, the goods people buy, consume, discard, or treasure become more than just things; they are evidence of life, recast as portraits of humanity, community, memory, and loss.
For ‘Ordinary Wonders’ at the Momentary (@themomentary) , Ramirez’s photographs find wonder in the everyday, from pill minders to brooms gathered from shopkeepers in Mexico to his purse portraits of the things we hold closest. Curator Alejo Benedetti (@alejobenny) guides us through an exhibition that positions material culture as a window onto the people who used it.
Visit ‘Chuck Ramirez: Ordinary Wonders’ at the Momentary in Bentonville, Arkansas through January 10.

Chuck Ramirez: Ordinary Wonders opens today at The Momentary at Crystal Bridges in Bentonville, Arkansas. The exhibition marks the first solo museum show outside Texas dedicated to Chuck’s work and will be on view until January 10, 2027.
“We are incredibly proud of this milestone in Chuck Ramirez’s artistic legacy. Fifteen years after his passing, Ramirez’s work continues to be discovered and appreciated, and as representatives of his estate, we are responsible for keeping his legacy alive. We are committed to continuing the interpretation and elevation of his work to the national and international recognition it rightfully deserves. Ramirez was an exceptionally talented artist who engaged his audience both intellectually and emotionally with works that are politically charged and aesthetically fascinating. We eagerly anticipate his first solo museum exhibition outside Texas and look forward to Alejo Benedetti’s curatorial vision.” - Patricia Ruiz-Healy
Chuck Ramirez (1962-2010) was a San Antonio-based artist with a reverence for material culture. For many years, his day job was as a graphic designer and art director for the Texas grocery chain H-E-B. In his commercial work, he helped sell products that lined store shelves and filled home pantries. Ramirez’s photographs will prompt viewers to consider that the goods people buy, consume, discard, or treasure are more than just things; they are evidence of life. In the photographs, the artist positioned material culture as reflections of humanity, community, memory, and loss. In his artwork, Ramirez often recast commercial products as windows onto the people who consumed them. Ramirez’s affinity for everyday “stuff” was a continuous thread throughout his practice. The artist’s ability to find wonder in the ordinary takes center stage in this exhibition.

Hot weather got you stuck inside? The Momentary has two new MO-penings to fix that :)
Two major exhibitions opening this week at @themomentary and they’re throwing a SUPER PARTY tomorrow (Sat 7/18, 11am-9pm, ALL FREE) to celebrate.
Lucy Sparrow: The Beginning of Convenience is Sparrow’s first US exhibition and it is WILD. Picture a Walmart-inspired supermarket frozen in time circa 1981, except every single product on every single shelf is handmade felt. Thousands of them. I got to meet Lucy herself at today’s media preview and am taken back by the skill and effort to pull this off.
Got to walk it with media and influencer types this morning and watching these serious media professionals turn into kids in a candy store was the whole vibe. 100% smile rate in that room, guaranteed. Curators were on hand leading us through both galleries, bringing the intent behind pieces to life.
Also super dope and opening this weekend: Chuck Ramirez: Ordinary Wonders. Ramirez spent years as a graphic designer/art director for H-E-B before turning that eye toward photography — and his work makes you look twice at the “ordinary” stuff we buy, use, and toss. Read the descriptions on this one, they connect the dots, turning the extra ordinary into extraordinary.
Then tomorrow it’s a full-blown block party: make a keychain, silk screen a shopping bag, play trivia, dance and roller skate.. Plus from 4-6pm: meet visiting artists-in-residence Angela Fraleigh, Sichong Xie, Blas Isasi & Sheryl Oring — mid-process, ready to talk shop.
This is the kind of event that reminds me why I love the Momentary and its role as the living room of Bentonville. Free, joyful, genuinely well-made art for everybody.
Will I see YOU at the MO this weekend? 👀

In honor of the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals, we are pleased to share “Purse Portrait: # 21 (Kimberly)” by RHA Artist Chuck Ramirez. Among its contents is a miniature Tim Duncan jersey, a small but meaningful detail that offers a distinctly San Antonio touch. Ramirez’s purse portraits of his friends’ handbags reveal intimate details of their daily lives.
“A handbag’s contents—staged or not—speak to matters of femininity, identity and, in the case of Ramirez’s work, the projection of the imagined self. On the other hand, the Purse Portraits question the stability of the object and the very concept of objecthood—a sentiment in keeping with notions like Jerry Saltz’ definition of the “non-specific object,” relegating, to some degree, Ramirez’s use of photography to a medium of opportunity. Each surrogate is so obviously an amalgam that any notions about the identity of the sitter can only be provisional.” - Anjali Gupta

This is the last day to visit Friends Fair! Join us in room 211 at the Loren Hotel in Austin. The fair will be on view until 6PM CST today.
“Each image of the series reflects a crystallized moment in time primarily centered on food gatherings but devoid of any human presence. Ramirez meticulously recreates his still life to realize the aftermath of convivial San Antonio moments. Looking to the historical still life genre of the 17th century Dutch Vanitas paintings and their symbolic references to life’s impermanence, Ramirez reconstructs his temporary images to exhibit the aftermath and the forgotten remnants of social memory. His conceptual objectives range from elevating the mundane, critiquing over consumption, and personifying his local cultural food waste.” - Dr. Claudia Zapata, Curatorial Assistant of Latinx Art at the Smithsonian American Art Museum

Thank you to the New York Times for including the work of gallery artist Chuck Ramirez in a very important opinion piece by Padma Lakshmi. Ruiz-Healy Art is the sole representative of the Estate of Chuck Ramirez.
“America is interesting and strong because of the contributions of immigrants and their children, mixing with the ingredients of other cultures and evolving over time, creating both a blend of the world’s cuisines and our own unique food culture all at once.” - Padma Lakshmi

‘Chicano Camera Culture’ curated by Elizabeth Ferrer opens on February 7th at The Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art & Culture. We are thrilled that the work of Chuck Ramirez is included in such an important exhibition.
‘Chicano Camera Culture: A Photographic History, 1966–2026’ is the first major survey to examine the depth and evolution of Chicana/o/x lens-based image-making over the past 60 years. Featuring approximately 150 works by nearly 50 U.S. Chicana/o/x artists, the exhibition unfolds thematically and intergenerationally—bringing together early activist photographers and contemporary artists whose work builds upon this powerful legacy. Organized through a dynamic mix of traditional and experimental approaches—including silver gelatin and digital prints, manipulated imagery, constructed scenes, photographic installations, and conceptual practices—the exhibition invites viewers to consider the camera’s enduring role in shaping self-representation, cultural identity, and political expression.
