SOLARIS 40" x 60", $13,000 About the Series: For Dray, Philosophy deals in the abstract and abstraction is an indispensable tool in art and culture. Through his paintings, he reasserts that abstraction has been a part of humanity, all cultures in all ages. It’s an indispensable tool, as we create symbols, vessels to fill with allusions and messages. The resulting artwork have a strong sense of purpose.

He completed his formal art education in Australia and has painted continuously for the last 30 years living and working in his studio home on Scotland Island...

Just as a flower bud holds the full picture of its bloom, so too do these paintings hold a fuller...
