Ray Caesar "A Gentle Kind of Cruelty"
Jonathan LeVine Gallery
This event has ended.
"A Gentle Kind of Cruelty," presents new works by Toronto-based artist Ray Caesar in what will be his fourth solo exhibition at the gallery. The show will feature printed multiples as well as several large-scale, original, one-of-a-kind prints. Caesar expands upon his signature aesthetic in this exhibition by taking a more painterly approach, rendering new imagery with softer edges and greater movement than in previous work. The artist’s digitally created dreamscapes, set in elaborately furnished Rococo-style interiors, feature haunting doll-like female figures with delicate features and porcelain complexions. The hybrid characters, part-child-part-woman, some sprouting tails, tentacles and other animal appendages, all wear elaborate costumes that reference fashions of the past and often incorporate futuristic elements as well.
