About the Work

Abstraction was Ray George’s concern throughout his career. The love of drawing was at the heart of all Ray’s artwork. Geometry and its infinite permutations delighted the artist. The exploration of a variety of art media on paper and all the possibilities whether direct or through printmaking processes was a lifelong concern; graphite and hairspray were the foundation of much of his adventurous abstraction. I remember Ray once saying that he feared color…one would never suspect such in the work we are exhibiting; his involvement with color opens and closes geometric space, suggests atmosphere and light; it appeals to our emotions; it will surprise.
