Beldner uses fragments of historic and contemporary artworks as the starting point for his work. The m\u00e9lange of images layered onto the surfaces, at the same time familiar and foreign, is meant to disorient and lead the viewer through an endless examination of organic shapes, colors and textures. His process is intuitive and focuses on the visual tension between negative\/positive space, figuration\/abstraction, and how 2D forms occupy, define and create space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent Memories of Future Dreams<\/em> by Ray Beldner

Over time, this body of work developed from simple layered fragments of paper to large-scale assemblages and free-standing sculptures. After two years of lockdown, he has taken a turn toward even brighter colors and patterns as a visual relief from the isolation and social unrest of the past year. Ultimately, this work offers an energetic experience of color, shape, texture and scale, where you can lose yourself in the visual activity of the collages and recalibrate your habitual perceptions of reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ray Beldner’s solo show, “Cut and Paste. Repeat.” is presented by Casey and Associates Art Advisors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
