Artist Statement:
Muffin Ray works in heavy
oils, pigments and waxes,
creating engaging and
temperamental impasto
paintings. Passionate layers
of bold color and
underpainting are revealed, as
geometric scoring etches into
a nacreous surface, allowing
glimpses of what may be layers
and layers of semi covered
images. Most work is innately
created to reveal fragments of
ancient mosaic and tile work,
not unlike that of Byzantine
baths and fountains. There are
recognizable but subtle images
of flora, though they do not
interrupt the integrity of
these avant-garde modern
paintings. Paintings exhibit
the fusing of Euclidean
geometric theory juxtaposed
with the primal act of artful
expression. Canvasses are
large, averaging 72x72 inches.
Paintings are done in a barn
studio in Peacham, Vermont
called Workhorse. The artist
shows locally in Vermont at
Flynndog Gallery, Sohome in
Burlington, and Catamount Arts
in St. Johnsbury. Nationally,
work is exhibited in Florida,
New York, and The Rice Polak
Gallery in Provincetown Mass.
M. Ray has been a contributing
member of the Provincetown art
community for twenty years.
Workhorse is open often by
chance, always by appointment.
Initial contact by email is
preferred.
