Not one to conform, Rayjaun Pollard strives to stretch the perspective of his viewers, and question the normative ways of thinking and societal standards. Pollard is known for his use of vibrant pastel colors and his stunning execution of painting the female form and often his work is created on Monochromatic backgrounds to draw focus to the subject matter. Jameel Parker introduced him to the Fundamentals of Art, Picasso taught him to be a doer and push himself to the limit, and Salvador Dali taught him the world is what you make it. As a result, the past 10 years of his life has been dedicated to seeing life through as many lenses as possible. This way he can coat a canvas in pastel or charcoal, and hope you see the beauty and flaws in the people he paints.
