Rex Ray
For Rex Ray, the joy of making and weaving art was his continuous motivation. As a fine artist based in San Francisco, Rex Ray worked in a wide range of media, including painting, collage, print works, and photography. Rex's work exudes beauty with a subversive edge that stems from an attitude grounded in alternative subculture. His impressive client roster in the music, fashion, entertainment, and design industries, includes David Bowie, The Residents, Bill Graham Presents, DreamWorks, Levi’s, Neiman Marcus, Sony Music, Warner Brothers, and Apple. During his lifetime Rex Ray generated a prolific body of painting and works on paper. His technique involved a complicated process that combined Xerography, handmade woodblock prints, newsprint, and magazine images into vibrant colour schemes with parabolic forms and abstract patterns. His works reference mid-century modernism, Dada, decorative arts, Fluxus, and Pop Art deployments associated with Andy Warhol and continue to speak to ideas of beauty during eras known for post-modernist and conceptual ideologies.
