About the Artist:
The artwork of San Francisco-based artist Rex Ray ranges from collages on paper, paintings on canvas and resin to digital work. His abstract and colorful patterns have a retro-futuristic feel and have been featured in museums, galleries, hip restaurants, boutique hotels and retail establishments. Whether on a book cover, CD covers, rock posters or wallpaper, his work is almost always identifiable. He’s created a wide range of custom projects for Apple, Dreamworks, Flavor Paper, and Swatch, to name a few.
Ray’s work is made entirely by hand. The collages are made with hand-painted and printed papers hand cut with scissors. His work combines a mid-century modern aesthetic with psychedelic color palette and shapes. Ray is known for popularizing the use of high-gloss resin panels – encasing his colorful, graphic collage designs in a gorgeous glossy layer of resin.
Ray’s collages, paintings and design work have been exhibited at galleries and museums, including The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Jose Museum of Modern Art, The Crocker Museum in Sacramento, and Museum of Contemporary Art, Denver. He is represented by Gallery 16 in San Francisco, California; Turner Carroll Gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico; Conduit Gallery in Dallas, Texas; and NYC.
