Raymond Yosuico

"Raymond Yosuico’s abstract Expressionist
paintings are intensely sensual. Many of his
works evoke those from Kandinsky’s Blue Rider
period, though Yosuico’s use of both sharp and
diffuse borders between neighboring color
planes builds on that style’s conventions. Letting
certain colors expand throughout the canvas
while confining others to their margins, Yosuico
teases our desire to read figures and
backgrounds into his abstract works.

"This technique also allows him to build on the
emotive qualities of his colors. In canvases
dominated by a relaxing blue or a frenetic
yellow, the shape and repetition of color planes
can convey, alternatively, movement or static,
rhythm or silence. Through this dynamic
interaction between his colors and shapes,
Yosuico’s canvases take on a musical dimension
that he manipulates effectively from one canvas
to the next. Thus, certain works suggest a calm
and melodic soundscape, while others are
frantically musical. In every case, however,
Yosuico’s sense of composition maintains a
sense of harmony within each work."
