“Youth” – By me and measures 24″ w x 30″ w and is Spray Paint & Acrylic on Canvas.
**SOLD***
I am an internationally recognized artist who, through my work, seeks to utilize various harmonies and ideas to visually engage the audience. I also use my art as an opportunity to experiment with the range of possibilities allowed through my choice of materials, spray paint and hand cut stencils.
My work captures spaces of partial or full illumination between the perfect shadows on all sides of a person or an object. The artwork conveys the real beauty of the subject. The viewer is able to appreciate the simplicity, splendor and exquisiteness of my work and the subject. The work is raw, it’s stripped back, it’s honest.
I am vehemently opposed to using art as a means to rely on overly-complex theories or ideas to prop up mediocre images. I believe that the quality of the actual work is what is paramount.

This piece of art is great good job and keep it up.
Gorgeous! I visited your etsy site. Do you ever do prints?
This is really a drawing, and not a photograph? Wow! You are very, very talented. I am soooooo jealous.
No drawing either. It’s spray paint.
I’m amazed at what you can achieve with spray paint. I had no idea of the delicacy.
Stunning work! I love the child on the swing.
Very nice work!
You are an amazing artist!
This is truly amazing!
Good work 🙂

Still waiting to hear. I hope so but I’m not sure.

Absolutely breathtaking. I am definitely going to keep you in mind for future presents to my teenagers. You capture soul so well, and such an innovative way!
Your work is absolutely stunning! You are truly talented! I only just skimmed through some of your work, do you do colour pieces?

Hey Ray, your work looks really great, good luck with taking on NYC!
Your artwork is incredible! I wish I could come in gallery and see it in person.
These are great, I’d like to see them. Is the gallery having any related events in the coming weeks?

Is that 22nd event invite only? Love a good party!
No it’s open to anyone 😉

This is very cool. A lot of b&w art I’ve seen leans towards a more somber mood, but I love how the joy and fun shines through in this one.

Absolutely wonderful! Congrats! I’ve already supported you on Facebook and on See.me and honestly hope you win. How come your art isn’t there yet? Anyway, as I was having a glass of wine, I had an idea… Is it ok if I write some of my poems inspired by your art and publish them on my blog? You can pick the images you’d like to read a poem about (if you have the time for that) and I’ll link it to your blog. What do you say?
Cheers.
