Raymond Saunders: Notes from LA
David Zwirner

About
Why this artist matters now
Raymond Saunders assembles fragments of paint, collage, and found materials into densely layered compositions that merge abstraction with gestural mark-making. The Pittsburgh-based American artist synthesized formal training with direct observation, creating works that resist singular interpretation.
