About the artist

Raymond Saunders In his assemblage-style paintings, American artist Raymond Saunders (1934–2025) brought together his extensive formal training with his own observations and lived experience. Expressionistic swaths of paint, minimalist motifs, line drawings, and passages of vibrant color tangle with found objects collected from his urban environment, creating unexpected visual rhymes and resonances that reward careful and sustained looking and allow for a multiplicity of meanings.
