Ray Caesar, Art London Fair 8-12 October Royal Hospital Chelsea
Art London 2009 is just around the corner! This celebrated art fair has had its sights firmly set on affable accessibility since its conception in 1991 – “serious” art abounds, but Art London brings with it a friendly welcome often lacking in your [scary] high-brow events. As one antiques magazine puts it “Art London is a fair that could teach the others a trick or two…”
And so to London! With a mind-bending Ray Caesar solo exhibition, The Richard Goodall Gallery will be showing brand new pieces created exclusively for the event by this wonderfully weird creator. The final pieces of Ray’s older editions will also be available, and visitors will have the once in a lifetime opportunity to purchase the artist’s proofs of long sold out images.
London-born Ray Caesar is the creator of otherworldly digital images which are at once grim and hopeful; alien and familiar. Children are a mainstay of his creations – having worked for 17 years in The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, Ray has previously remarked “it is clear to me that this is the birthplace of all my imagery.” Fascinatingly futuristic yet curiously familiar, Caesar’s images are a journey into an unnervingly beautiful enigma.
As if this wasn’t enough, we’re also offering free admission tickets – just get in touch for your tickets and you can wander through the Art London 2009 fair on us!
