Bayou Gray is intrigued by the human form. The slump of a shoulder, the refraction of light in an iris. The subtle shifts that tell a tale far more than words ever could. The breadth of Bayou's work tries to capture the intimate meaning of those moments and pour it back upon you. In short, Bayou wants the viewer to feel the piece, and not just see it. To that end, his tools of choice all have some meaning. Beginning with panels primed with tempura, as a link to those before. Since life moments are varied, precious, shimmering, and easy to tear, Bayou paints on metal leaf with a palette based heavily in warm tones and transparent color, the luminosity of which gives skin tones the showcase that they deserve.
