“Frequencies” February 8 – March 10, 2024 7077 E. Main Street, Suite 6, Scottsdale AZ 85251 RoyseContemporary.com 602-810- 3449
Royse Contemporary presents "Frequencies"the much anticipated debut solo exhibition of Joe Ray. With this new exhibition, Ray is exploring the frequency of energy, color, hearts and Angels in this exhibition. His work evokes color and passion, reflecting a bicultural perspective through a dynamic new collection that includes paintings, monosilks and mixed media works.
“Each of the pieces in this exhibition contains energy within it and some of that energy is felt or seen in the colors or the imagery itself,” declares Ray. He goes on to explain that “whatever frequencies emanate from the piece is also on behalf of the viewer, who take whatever resonates with them whether it be an emotion, a memory, or humor, the response is up to them.”
The artist has created a series of “Hearts”, where he looks at the center of who and what we are, believing there is good in our inner being. These hearts were inspired a little by discussions about heart health with others and how we should be grateful for our health.
He has continued to explore his “Angels” series, seeing them as “Healers” and that is why they are with us, reassuring us that it’s going to be okay.
Joe Ray with wife Christine Ray
He was born in San Luis, R.C., Sonora, Mexico and grew up in western Arizona on the Colorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT) Reservation in Poston Arizona. His work reflects a colorful bi-cultural perspective formed by the Arizona and Mexico regions, as well as the people living in this area. His work has been in a variety of exhibits and publications throughout the U.S. and Mexico.

We held a wonderful Reception on February 8, 2024 for Joe Ray, coinciding with the Scottsdale Artwalk in Old Town Scottsdale. We had record high attendance and several sales during the evening and preceding weeks.
Patrons enjoyed listening to Ray share about his artwork, his process and speak about his latest collection of work. We received such an incredible response to the exhibition. Patrons were engaged with his various artistic techniques and how he approached his subject matter.
We look forward to future projects and the continued artistic progression of Joe Ray. We will continue to support his creative journey and work, while providing an opportunity to showcase his diverse multi-media artwork. Thank you for visiting, exploring and shopping ”Frequencies”!
