Turner Carroll Gallery is thrilled to present their inaugural exhibition of highly acclaimed contemporary San Francisco artist, Rex Ray. Rex's collages, paintings,
and design work have been exhibited at the most prestigious galleries and museums, including the San Francisco Museum of
Modern Art, the Crocker Museum in Sacramento, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, and numerous Los Angeles contemporary exhibitions.
Rex is also a celebrated graphic designer. He has created work for Apple, Dreamworks, Sony Music, Warner Brothers, City Lights Publishers, Matador Records, The New Museum of Contemporary Art, and Crown Books. His package designs for David Bowie, as well as Joe Satriani, Matmos, and Deee-Lite, have earned him an international reputation for his innovation in type and with original photographs, drawings, and collage. He has designed over 100 historic Bill Graham Presents rock and roll tour posters, including ones for The Rolling Stones, Patti Smith, REM, Bjork, U2, and Radiohead.
The new body of work Turner Carroll will be exhibiting are the collage works that have earned Rex an incredible international reputation. Hand painting paper, cutting it out, and intricately collaging it onto canvas, Rex incorporates every color and texture of the rainbow. These colorful, youthful, fun works immediately recall pop art, but with an incredible contemporary spin.
