Russia's
barbaric invasion of Ukraine is the conceptual theme of Raymond's
current works. Everyday objects are placed in a different context in
hope that the viewer thinks about the violence in the world in
current times. Raymond supports the resistance against senseless
violence and the delusions of an authoritarian Kremlin madman, the
destruction of the culture, and the continued suffering, of the
Ukrainian people.
In
his paintings, Raymond
focusses on abstract works. Painted intuitively, without a
preconceived idea, a fascinating field of tension is created. The
overall compositions demonstrate a refined sense of color and
contrast in a lyrical abstract style building on the expressionist
art movements after 1945. Other works demonstrate a geometric
abstraction in which the composition is built up by juxtaposing
colorful, powerful and contrasting surfaces.
