Circa 2005 Rex Ray Mixed Media + Resin Collage

Design Plus Gallery presents a Circa 2005 Mixed-Media Collage from Artist Rex Ray (1956 – 2015). A square wood frame with a design-forward composition fuses collage sensibilities with the crisp clarity of acrylics, sealed in a clear lacquered finish. Rectangular forms, stacked and staggered in layered blues and verdant greens, anchor the surface; within each block, a hand-brushed black arch introduces rhythm and gesture against the geometry. The yellow-blonde background—allowing a whisper of wood warmth to show through—acts as a luminous counterpoint, evoking mid-20th-century palettes and the tactile polish of modernist furnishings. The lacquer adds depth and a subtle sheen, tightening the interplay between graphic precision and organic sweep. While Ray’s trademark balance of bold color, modular structure, and biomorphic curve gives the piece a distinctly architectural cadence. In good condition, visible and minimal wear. It has his signature on its backside.
