Rex Ray digital work
Rex Ray
This body of Rex Ray's work is a result of the artist¹s investigations into the merging of traditional and digital technologies. Ray has refined his disinct abstract vocabulary which draws upon the biomorphic elements of 1950¹s design, glossy print advertising, his own photography and the digital computer. The resulting images are lush, highly sophisticated abstract compositions.
David Bonetti remarked ³Whether we like it or not we live in a Rex Ray world². His ubiquitous graphic work has received significant international acclaim. His designs have graced the covers of magazines, record albums and books worldwide.
