MEET THE ARTIST

RAY GROSS | Artist | Sculpture | Designer |

Ray Gross is an artist, sculptor and designer, who maintains a studio in South Florida. He received an education in Fine Art at Florida Atlantic University where he went to major for painting but got clay under his fingernails and became a potter.


“10 years ago,” the new graduate had a garage studio in Lake Worth, Florida. On an October afternoon a Rolls Royce drove down the driveway and out came an elegant woman in a fur coat, and she said “I hear there is a pretty good potter here”. The philanthropist was Enid A. Haupt. She commissioned Ray to make her ceramic Flowers, to which Ray replied “NO”. She then saw Ray had brushes dipped in glaze in his hands, and she said ” then make me paint brushes”. That was the pivotal moment in Ray’s career.


Most recently, his hand-built, hand-painted hyper-realistic porcelain sculptures depicting objects of everyday Americana, including utilitarian ART objects such as Paint Cans, Paint Tubes, Brushes, Pencils, and other artist tools, which have seized the attention of collectors. Ray’s Works of ART have been installed in public and corporate spaces worldwide. Often playing with scale as understatements and overstatements, Ray’s work involves completely handmade process from the beginning of construction to the final surface details of painting and glazing elements.  Each work is unique, one-of-a-kind (1:1), signed and dated by Ray Gross.

Whether on the residential, commercial or institutional side of art consulting, House of Craven represents you to the ART world and procures works that speaks to you; fulfills your goals and visions;  meets your budget; and other pre-defined parameters.  Today, it is more than helping corporations or individuals create physical spaces that "wow" with fine artwork that aligns with their values and mission, but it is also about bridging the physical works with the digital world.


As “The ART Connector,” House of Craven is a pioneer company with accelerating adaption of emerging technologies.   House of Craven harnesses the power of technology while balancing the old world charm and practices of the industry.  Regularly touring artists’ studios, fairs and exhibitions, gallery and museum exhibitions, are important sources to look and gather information.   With the power of virtual rooms, House of Craven can offer many scaled examples of artwork in your rooms setting online as well.  No Contact Art Buying is a reality now.  House of Craven also offer, many art related services from framing, installation to inventory management.  I invite you to peruse the House of Craven website and do reach out with questions via email: craven@houseofcraven.com


House of Craven charges a sliding scale commission of thirty percent (30.0%) for works under $100,000 that you purchase under House of Craven guidance; that commission might go as low as ten percent (10.0%) for works over $1 million.  Sometimes, clients hire House of Craven for work on an hourly basis, but it really all depends on the project requirements.  Each project requires a transparent budget discussion upfront, to ascertain the best way to work together that results in added value for clients whether a corporation, institution or individual.  Expertise and transparency are two very important when selecting an art consultant.


While ART in itself transcends mere taste, some ART practitioners have always been positioned as “tastemakers”. They influence the audience's perception of styles, movements or even artists. As ART movements transform over the years, the “trend” of artworks changes too, some being more sought after than others. Thus, tastemakers propel the ART market and the ART world through their choices and conversations in a new direction.
