Ray Caesar “Pretty Little Predators” GALLERY HOUSE Toronto Caesar completes the year at Gallery House with our first solo exhibition in Canada for 2015. Known in the fine art world as the grandfather of digital art Caesars works are partly inspired by the Dutch and Flemish masters Vermeer and Jan van Eyck, as well as 18th century painter Gainsborough and French Rococo artists Watteau and Boucher. Caesar’s works in turn are creations from his life memories and events. His visual diaries captivate us and repel us, yet we always ache for more. And like a diary, once we put pen to paper the words have soothing effect and gives the artists an inner calm that is shared. Belinda Chun 416 587 0057

Old Wounds
Old scars from the past are reminders of our mortality and remembrances of the continuity of the chapters of our life. Each of us is the hero in our story, collecting the wounds and memories like cherished photographs and keepsakes. Some of these wounds we hide and some are in plain sight for all to see. As time goes on, we find that it is easier to care for our own old wounds as well as care for the old wounds of those we love. As we deal with our own pain, we learn empathy for the pain of others. |
Fay and the Girl in a Red Chaperone
Southbound
There are times in our lives when we feel like we are going into the depths of Hell rushing through a tunnel on a runaway train going southbound. I sometimes think this aspect of our nature might not be so bad if we ourselves are the demon and that particular Hell is the very place we call home. |
