LA Art Box to Present First Solo Art Show Of Emerging Artist I AM Augie Ray
I AM Augie Ray is a Grammy-winning, fine audio producer, mixed-media visual artist, author, and professor of hip hop at Cal State University Northridge. Often defining himself as a "Pluralist" by using his skills in tandem, Ray views the world through abundance and opportunity following his mantra, "I am all things!" With an extensive background in music production, Ray has been able to transmute his talents into visual art, opening viewers and listeners alike to his raw, introspective aesthetic. Ray draws inspiration from masters such as Jean Michel Basquiat, Picasco, George Condo, and Jacob Lawrence.
