ON VIEW: LIGHTSTRUCK PHENOM

Raymar’s (@x.raymar) debut solo exhibition is an act of resolution: through his series of photographs, Raymar confronts the tension between stillness and avoidance, asking what it means to face what lies within rather than move past it.

The work embraces the notion that forward movement often requires direct engagement with discomfort — and that “the only way out is through.”

VIEWING HOURS
Thursday- Saturday
12-5PM

On view through Saturday, June 20
2845 Gratiot Ave, Detroit, MI 48207

Artwork available for purchase — DM or 🔗 in bio.

MEET THE ARTIST: Raymar

Raymar (@x.raymar) is a Detroit-based multidisciplinary artist whose work merges filmmaking, photography, music culture, and performance to explore family, identity, and the creation of alternative visual realities.

Influenced by Detroit’s artistic lineage and early inspirations like Beyoncé’s fusion of music, fashion, and visual narrative, Raymar has expanded his practice into fashion films, photo series, projection mapping, music videos, creative direction, and songwriting, crafting imagery that reflects both personal history and forward-looking experimentation.

He is a recipient of the 2025 Emerging Artist Fellowship Award, which recognizes artists who are early in their careers with ambitious goals and who demonstrate artistic potential through creative risk-taking along with a clear vision of what they seek to produce and present.

OPENING RECEPTION: LIGHTSTRUCK PHENOM is Raymar’s debut solo exhibition that examines his evolving sense of self, opening on Saturday, May 16 from 6-9PM.

LIGHTSTRUCK PHENOM is an act of resolution:through his exhibition Raymar confronts the tension between stillness and avoidance, asking what it means to face what lies within rather than move past it. The work embraces the notion that forward movement often requires direct engagement with discomfort— and that “the only way out, is through.”

The concept originates from a guided meditation exercise from college, when asked to visualize a door— an entry point to an unknown space. Raymar encountered a barrier — a door constructed of metal tiles, without a handle, immovable and unresolved. This image became a lasting metaphor for uncertainty, stagnation, and the psychological weight of transition at a pivotal moment in their life.

LIGHTSTRUCK PHENOM invites viewers to reflect on their own moments of pause and transition, and to consider the resources—often already within reach—that make movement forward possible.

Raymar (@raymar) is a Detroit-based multidisciplinary artist whose work merges filmmaking, photography, music culture, and performance to explore family, identity, and the creation of alternative visual realities.

Realized I never gave these two phenoms their own post. My Grandma Gloria and her bestie of the same name. 🏹Very important figures in my life!

Full transparency version: I’ve tried to write this damn caption for 45 minutes to explain the 2022 origins of this project and the events that led me to do it but—too much lol I think I’ll just say it in a video —-the ultimate point is, if you’re an artist take that opportunity to immortalize the people and places that made you who you are. It’s an extremely grounding and powerful experience & I’m currently finishing up an entire series about it. There’s much more to the story but for now, I’m just glad to say they’ll be exhibiting in my first solo show—along with many more. See you soon? @playdetroit
