Rex Ray
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.
Ray's design work includes; line of rugs with Elson & Company; a limited edition Artist Series Messenger Bag for Timbuk2; a signature gentlemen's Swatch; CD packaging for David Bowie, Joe Satriani, Matmos, Deee-Lite and has worked with Bill Graham Presents in over 100 tour posters.
In November of 2007, Chronicle Books published the first monograph of Rex Ray's work, Rex Ray: Art + Design
