Rex Ray: Orange Sunshine

Rex Ray is one of San Francisco’s most accomplished and prolific visual artists. Known to traverse both the design and art worlds, Ray’s art can be found in museums and galleries as well as rock clubs and on Swatch watches. Paper pieces, cut from fashion magazines and hand painted, are assembled by Ray to create brightly colored collages that range from delicate botanicals to ebullient constellations and modernist sequences.
