Already during his studies, Ringe explored tessellation and Islamic geometric patterns, manifesting works of silkscreen print, etching and ceramic tile.
[2] Since 2008, Ringe has been a lecturer in the fields of drawing and illustration technique at the Academy of Design "Ecosign", founded by Karin-Simone Fuhs.

"[11] In 2014 Ivo Ringe curated together with Viola Weigel the group exhibition "Strukturen/Structures: British and German Painting in Dialogue", which was shown successively at the Kunsthalle Wilhelmshaven (May 10, 2014 to August 24, 2014) and at the Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange (October 11, 2014 to January 3, 2015).
[14] Blair Todd, the museum's curator, mentioned in a video interview that it was largely thanks to Ivo Ringe's "energy and passion" that this Artist-in-residence took place.
[15] James Green, the director, explains in the same video that the museum is not only interested in exhibiting current positions in abstract art, but above all in creating a "creative experimental space", in which artists can inspire each other.
Recent works of concrete art from fifty international artists were chosen to show the advancements in this field one-hundred years after the time of Theo van Doesburg.
