The concept of a 360 degree painting intrigued Ray Zovar but had it's challenges. A cylindrical painting would be fascinating, but the biggest issue was the size of the cylinder in relation to an abstract expressionist composition: the viewer only sees half of the painting at a time. This made it critical to assure compositional continuity, to maintain a relationship with every viewing angle. Zovar wanted his creation to present a new painting with each step around it. He first tried using sunlight to infuse life into the painting. Then, he tried using a base light, which added luminosity. Finally, he incorporated RGB LED strip lights within each piece; that changed the painting's composition. The result is a 260 degree illusionary, abstract, one-of-a-kind, interplay of color and light. Remote-controlled LEDs change the look, color, and intensity of the piece at your whim. The light can be brighter or darker and change colors faster or slower.

All creations are acrylic mixed-media paintings on fabric, under resin, on fiberglass forms. These are suitable for indoor or protected outdoor installation in most climates. The LEDS have a life expectancy of 50,000 hours; power draw is approximately 30 watts.

Dimensions: 6" x 6" x 19”

About the Artist


Ray Zovar

Ray Zovar

Ray Zovar has always been fascinated by and worked with three-dimensional art. His first memory of creating art was sculpting, drawing, and painting in grade-school classes. Along with creating free-standing and wall-mounted sculptures, much of his work over the next 30 years as an abstract artist was comprised of oil and acrylic paintings with heavy impasto and strong 3D multimedia canvases. In 2013, Zovar began creating his 360 degree sculptural illuminations. The abstract paintings are composed with a focus on depth, texture, and details that glow from within. Exploring combinations of paint, sculpting medium, and glazes has forced him to view color, line, form, light, and movement with fresh eyes.
