Engineered to be fully road-legal, the structure disassembles into manageable sections that fit neatly onto a car-hauling trailer. Despite its grandeur, the entire setup can be completed in 30 minutes or less. This thoughtful design ensures that the dragon can travel easily to different locations, bringing its magic to a wide audience without extensive logistical challenges. Beyond its visual appeal, the Lumiere dragon invites festivalgoers to engage with the art. Attendees can interact with various elements, whether through motion sensors that trigger light sequences or designated touchpoints that allow them to influence the dragon’s glow and movement. This level of interactivity transforms the dragon from a mere installation into a participatory experience, making it a highlight of the festival. https://www.ronsimmer.com/berzerkatroid-dragon-gallery daily 0.75 2025-03-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/1741380896444-MNBERU9Y910KUXXVK0XY/image-asset.jpeg Berzerkatroid Dragon Gallery - Destination Downtown 2024 - Destination Downtown - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/1741380896444-MNBERU9Y910KUXXVK0XY/image-asset.jpeg Berzerkatroid Dragon Gallery - Destination Downtown 2024 - Destination Downtown - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/1741381223137-A6JU1OFEA9P8CASV7SH2/0D+-+ACTIVATION+-+SOMBILON+STUDIOS-11.jpg Berzerkatroid Dragon Gallery - Destination Downtown 2024 - Destination Downtown - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/1741381135157-XMP2GGI4TT2YMNW51C15/0D+-+ACTIVATION+-+SOMBILON+STUDIOS-6.jpg Berzerkatroid Dragon Gallery - Destination Downtown 2024 - Destination Downtown - 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/1741381242593-4F9V3KQBQYLRCPY6IFTR/0D+-+ACTIVATION+-+SOMBILON+STUDIOS-21.jpg Berzerkatroid Dragon Gallery - Destination Downtown 2024 - Destination Downtown - 2024 https://www.ronsimmer.com/pink-torpedo-gallery daily 0.75 2025-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/9f2e61f6-af17-4d61-bb1d-37b66eba7963/pink-torpedo+%282%29.jpg Pink Torpedo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/9f2e61f6-af17-4d61-bb1d-37b66eba7963/pink-torpedo+%282%29.jpg Pink Torpedo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/1600366607542-F2HP1BGKR60TZRK6QE9X/Pink+Torpedo.jpg Pink Torpedo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/75a76118-e77f-4a05-9ba9-187016782935/pink-torpedo+%283%29.jpg Pink Torpedo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/848881b2-77b4-4e9d-8358-09472f1e0f9c/pink-torpedo+%281%29.jpg Pink Torpedo Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/ddb3a2c8-d434-4fad-8a8f-26b634f31657/pink-torpedo+%285%29.jpg Pink Torpedo Gallery https://www.ronsimmer.com/the-cosmic-oracle-from-deep-space-gallery daily 0.75 2025-03-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/3e5f0372-0a41-4f97-a75c-ec688255553b/image-asset.jpeg The Cosmic Oracle from Deep Space - Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/3e5f0372-0a41-4f97-a75c-ec688255553b/image-asset.jpeg The Cosmic Oracle from Deep Space - Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/1743448417588-YQER44DGQ1CC7PRLUJIY/cosmic-oracle+%281%29.jpg The Cosmic Oracle from Deep Space - Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/1743448432678-N93KWH3OMLFD2AWC39T1/cosmic-oracle+%282%29.JPG The Cosmic Oracle from Deep Space - Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/1743448434477-J8DRX3IGG5AQJ5BLCSWG/cosmic-oracle+%284%29.jpg The Cosmic Oracle from Deep Space - Gallery https://www.ronsimmer.com/contact daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.ronsimmer.com/garden-art daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.ronsimmer.com/indoor-sculpture daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.ronsimmer.com/infinity-mirrors daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.ronsimmer.com/the-bizarre daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.ronsimmer.com/burning-man-art daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.ronsimmer.com/furnishings daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.ronsimmer.com/public-sculpture daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.ronsimmer.com/pne-art-project daily 0.75 2024-11-11 https://www.ronsimmer.com/recent-exhibitions daily 0.75 2025-06-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5c0d661889c1720869dac981/924aaeb6-ef99-4d86-9c11-563c39d1a969/20250530-276770.jpg Recent Exhibitions - Penticton Public Sculpture Exhibit Canadian Woman – Penticton Public Sculpture Exhibit 2025 Downtown Penticton, BC Installed: May 2025 ‘Canadian Woman’ has been newly completed and installed as part of the 2025 Penticton Public Sculpture Exhibit. This year marks the debut of the work in its full form, now crowned with a dramatic, surrealist red rose designed and fabricated by fellow artist Karl Simmons. Originally unveiled without the rose head at Art Vancouver 2025, Canadian Woman now embodies its complete vision: a powerful, hybrid form that blends feminine symbolism with industrial craftsmanship. The rose—crafted from 1/8" aluminum sheet, shaped with a 50-ton press, and TIG welded with painstaking precision—was modeled in 3D software and finished with sandblasting and powder coating to create a wind-swept, high-impact presence. Presented as part of the city’s annual juried outdoor art exhibition, Canadian Woman contributes to Penticton’s ongoing commitment to public art and creative placemaking.
