Art Rex Ray

  • Rhizine_06_large

An exhibition of new paintings further cements Rex Ray's status among San Francisco's most prolific artists and designers. Gallery 16's show accompanies the release of Chronicle Books' Rex Ray Art + Design, a vast 160-page compendium of Ray's painting and collage work. With clustered layers of sprockets, constellations of lace, and honeycomb-like structures, the works — enlivened by a rich palette — present viewers with luminous, mysterious compositions. Organizing his paintings under titles as extravagant as the works ("Rhizine," "Aephillae," and "Cyphellae"), Ray at once evokes the realms of horticulture, exotic genii, and Latin verse.

– Isaac Amala

Note: There is an opening reception on Fri Nov 9 (6-9pm).
