Rex Ray Studio Editions Lab R2TV

I have worked in both fine art and commercial art for twenty-five years. Because my artwork references and rehabilitates ideas of decoration in art it seems only natural for the work to also apply to various products. I think the role of the artist is very different today. The artist doesn't have to work alone in the studio consumed with angst but can work in many diverse ways. Some of my influences include Dada, kitsch, pattern and design, pop art, and commercial art - therefore the work translates well onto various consumer products.
It's exciting to take my aesthetic and my view of the world and mash it up onto a box or a scarf and see how it affects the medium and the see how the work is affected by this new application.
With my Rex Ray Studio line I plan to extend my artwork into new mediums in the home decor universe. I'm intrigued by the idea of providing the basic elements for people to create their own 'Rex Rays' in their homes. I like the idea of my work reaching as wide an audience as possible and affecting people's environments.
