Eric McRay: Contemporary Abstract Art
by Eric McRay
May 6 – June 27, 2021
Contemporary Modernist:
From soul to brush to canvas, McRay’s art overflows with bright colors, expressive styles, and energized designs, which he employs to capture the vibrancy and intensity of his subjects. He goes from paintings with a lot of splash and spontaneity to images with a sense of organization and reason. In this body of work, Eric McRay has used non-objective abstraction in the tradition of the New York School of the 1940s and 1950s. His focus is on subjective emotional expression with a particular emphasis on spontaneous creative actions to create this body of work.
