Paintings

Ray’s paintings present coexistence as an abstraction. He invites his audience to examine perceived differences from various perspectives and then to recognize a sameness, a grounding. He encourages viewers to take the experience beyond observation and participate in the art. Ray’s abstract paintings are composed with a focus on depth, texture, and composition. Exploring combinations of paint, sculpting medium, and glazes has forced him to view color, line, form, light, and movement with fresh eyes. He feels that all art presents opportunities for self-discovery. “Fill your eyes and open your mind. Experience fully the emotions that art evokes. Find yourself within the art and reveal your truth.”
