The Gallery Premieres — eleven nights of art, fire, graffiti, neon and monsters.
Since 2011
Ramon Trif formed Ramon Trif Productions in January 2011 as a platform for New York City’s up-and-coming artists — a chance to be part of a professionally curated gallery show, with little to no submission fee.
The deal was simple: produce high-quality artwork, help promote the show, and contribute as a team — and you’re in. Ramon built it to teach discipline and a real, practical approach to pursuing an art career.
The Next Act
Ramon sees the present and future of art in the traditional gallery setting — but taken to the next level with his own touch. The new vision: Cinematic Gallery Movies.
Planned for 2020, then paused by the pandemic. The plans are back in motion — updates coming soon.

The End That Never Came
12.12.12 · The Dumbo Spot · Brooklyn, NY
December 2012 marked “The End of the World,” so apocalyptic artist Ramon Trif closed out the era with a showing that asked: what is The End? Spoiler alert: we’re all still here. From a fiery finale emblazoning the number 12, to the epic Paint-Off Battle between Ramon Trif & Alex Reynoso, to our Fire and Earth Femme Fatales sizzling down the runway — it was an End to remember for the ages.
Hosted by Ramon Trif Productions, a tribute show sponsoring S.S.B. — the Soul Stoned Brothers, a pioneering graffiti crew dating back to the ’70s. Curator Ramon Trif bridged the new and the old by honoring Leader & President George Colon, and the legendary Lee Quinones himself made an illustrious appearance.
A hot, libido-raising night where all the rules were painted over. Wear anything, feel anything, be with anyone. Art was as free as desire and lust. The drinks were cold and our eyes were filled with fire — a memorable soirée with scintillating results.
To think that I was at Comic Con with my own art company’s personal booth — quite the dream come true. Not a dream that I had, but one that found me in this waking life. I dressed up as The Ultimate Warrior, Darth Maul, and crazy ol’ Ramon Trif himself. When the stars and the sun and the moon align…
A Ramon Trif Production sponsoring Reves & Thieves, a clothing brand for artists. Street artists and gallery artists formed one collective, intermingling their beauty, standards and culture.
Jojer Gallery hosted our Pot-Luck gathering, where multiple artists showcased their latest works, painted live, and demonstrated painting techniques for the public to learn.
The fastest show I have ever curated — it took me less than a week to design, promote and gather the guests and performers. What a turnout it was! I even became an honorary Mariachi.
A fall showing symbolizing the turning of the season — the change within us that reflects the hues of life, and of struggle. Together we expressed through art, music, visuals and poetry what it all means to us, where we came from, and where we’re going from here. Like leaves upon a tree, we fall only to be reborn anew and start all over. Rest in Peace, B.I.E.R.
Halloween has always been Ramon Trif’s favorite holiday — the creativity, the chance to become a character other than the one you pretend to be all year. His art group at the time, A.R.K., produced the most illustrious Halloween art extravaganza NYC had ever seen. It was such a smash hit that the sequel was in demand before the night was over.
The sinful sequel to MONSTER — this time the witches and wayward souls joined the calamity. Gathering in the heart of New York City, it was a night of art, ghoulish antics and sultry performances by our creatures of the night.
