Actinism is the name the Greeks ave Lo Llic science of the radiation of heat and light. Picasso was the first lo experiment with light as an art form, working with a flashlight to produce black and white paintings.

He gave it up because he could not find a way to produce colors for the work. Then Don Cray and Francis Oliver designed and patented a hoxed light, source Tor use in painting vrh colored light their worx has generated enthusiasms wherever they havp exhibited it.

The colors he produces cover the spectrum, naturally, since a prism produces the hues, and in his paintings, non-objective in content, he achieves 3-D effects through the interwoven colors.

1 hey an: energetic and full of spirit. Donald Gray, 2fi, a native of Oxford, was graduated from' the University of Nebraska and studied arL there. Although he still does some oils, ninsl or his time is taken with actinism, which he began developing six years ago with Oliver. Gray ii on a tour of the United States, showing his paintings in major cities. List whaL docs this new art form involve? A completely different concept, it combines not only artistic ahilitv, but also great concentration, because the work is done in total darkness.

The liL'hl source is boxed, an extremely white 1HU beamed at a prism, which separates the colors A shield moved buck and forth across (he prism produces a single color at a time. This color is brought from Ihc box through a small hole nor! the color' is "painted" upon sensiti.cd paper with a long, flexible hose rom posed of numerous 'hair-fine strands oT lucile. Where does one start such a Mr. Gray plans his work, sketching it first and doing a small water color. Since he cannot see his sketch while working, lie must memorize what he plans In do, and since he cannot see where he has "painlsd" until the entire work is completed and developed in a photographic process, he must remember every bit of colored light that he has shone upnn Hie paper.

His designs take roughly a mouth to execute, and sometimes he works on several, sinuiltaneous-ly. He clips his sketches to each painting, so thai at least he knows which is which. His originals begin at $1SD. but lilhographs sell for considerably less. To dote he has done ab-sli actions, reveling in Ihe sheer use of color lo produce pleasing "moods." He's now at work attempting to create abstractions based on realism, and is planning his first showing of these in the fall.

Meanwhile, back in VhIukIh, which is a little I own next (o West Onvina, while Mr. Gray is busy at his light work, Mrs. Gray is helping with the mounting bookkeeping that has come with her husband's success. She also has her hands full with llicir three children, Ihe oldest a Mrs! grader, who, incidentally, likes lo draw, according In his father. Mr.
