Ray mond L.Haywood![]() Ray mond L.Haywood creates pieces that reflect his urban upbringing - a densely layered juxtaposition of diverse images that evoke passion and intensity. His multi-layered paintings are uniquely created acrylic works on paper and canvas that are imbued with immediacy, honesty and boldness. He designs symbols, creates stencils, then layers color and stencils into rich, moody, vibrant pieces. His unique compositions and raucous use of form capture the spontaneity of spirit. Ray mond L.
