This vibrant artwork by late Houston artist Dick Wray is an abstract oil painting in the style of abstract expressionism. Thick layers of paint foster a remarkable tactility commonly found in Dick Wray’s artwork. However, underneath the bustling layers of thick paint and rapid gestural markings, Wray compliments his compositions with an assembly of printed media on paper fixed directly to the surface of this unique artwork. The treatment of the oil paint reflects a tendency toward impulse, whimsy, and vigorous expression. The surface of the painting is rich with texture, made from applying thick layers of paint on collage on stretched canvas. At 40 x 30 inches this painting possesses the presence and stature to imbue any room and art collection with exceptional vitality and poise.
