About the Item
This abstract oil painting by late Houston artist Dick Wray expresses a striking kinetic energy. Thick layers of paint foster a remarkable tactility commonly found in Dick Wray’s artwork. The treatment of the oil reflects a tendency toward impulse and vigorous expression. The surface of the painting is rich with texture - thick layers of impasto paint which wax gesturally across the canvas. At 60 x 48 inches this bold painting possesses the presence and stature to imbue any room and art collection with exceptional vitality and poise.
The artist's signature is hand-signed in the bottom-right corner.
This particular Dick Wray painting is encased in a satin-black wood frame. The frame measures 2.5 inches on the side, and the face is half an inch with a half-inch relief from the edge of the painting.

Dick Wray
Dick Wray was born at Heights Hospital in 1933 and primarily educated in Houston, Texas. He took free art lessons at the Houston Museum of Fine Arts in his early teens, graduated from Lamar High School (Houston, Texas) and, following military service in the U.S. Army from 1953 to 1955, enrolled in the School of Architecture of the University of Houston from 1955 to 1958. He finished his studies at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Germany in 1959. Wray took off for Europe in 1958 to discover for himself the center of the art world, starting his journey in Paris. Wray’s first competitive show was at the Art Museum of Southeast Texas in Beaumont in 1959. In 1962 he was awarded the Ford Foundation Purchase Prize. Wray has had a number of solo exhibitions at the Contemporary Arts Museum in Houston and his works are continuing to be shown at William Reaves Gallery.
