“I create custom works of art using a rather unique style. I hand cut stencils and use Spray Paint to make my work. Yes everything you see is spray paint on canvas!
I work in Business or Residential spaces and have done many pieces all over the globe.”
So says Ray Ferrer – Emotion on Canvas | ** OFFICIAL Site of Artist Ray Ferrer **
I love doing art and my wife is an artist. She paints in oils. She is also a ceramicist and works in glass — But that has nothing to do with this blog.
I paint in acrylics and have done some air brush art in the past. Sometimes I mix and match.
The sentiment I bump across every so often is that if the artist uses stencils they are not producing true art — Even though the artist created the stencils themselves.
Let me put that to rest. Especially for all of those snobs who look down on any work of art that is not their own.
Art is not the materials used. Oil, crayon, and bits of found cloth are all equal.
Art is not the method used to compose it. Methodology creates a genre, nothing more. Oil painting and Origami are different genres. And some of us mix both our mediums and our genres.
Art is the result.
Either you appreciate that result or you do not.
Not every sunset, nor every sunrise, is beautiful to every beholder.
A sunrise that portends a dry hot day is viewed differently on a beach or a mountain lake than it is in the middle of a parched desert.
