Among the heirs of surrealism, Ray Caesar is perhaps one of the most dignified and abnormal. Claiming to be born a dog, having worked for many years in a hospital and observing children with disabilities, experimenting on his sister's dolls, this artist from an early age realizes his strange life experience in attracting and repulsive at the same time pictures of strange young ladies, each of which has something from a monster.
Ray Caesar was born in 1958 in London. He was the youngest of four brothers in his family. He himself claims that at the time of his birth, the hospital was dilapidated. The love of art in the future author of weird digital girls with ill intentions the artist woke up from an early age - he drew a lot and on everything, experimented with his sister's doll - attached the missing details to it (or vice versa), even made Frankenstein's head out of a ball, which repeatedly frightened his father. He frightened him that it seemed to his father that his son was dead.
Due to some problems with neighbors, the Ray Caesar family moved to Canada. Toronto became his new home. At the age of 12, according to his autobiography, he was presented with a 12-inch plastic doll with movable parts, dressed in a cheap military uniform, and he calls this moment one of the defining moments in his life. He immediately dismissed this toy soldier by dressing him in a civilian suit. After that, he made wigs for him from gray plasticine. Since then, he has been messing with plasticine a lot, which, by the way, did not like his father at all, and the fact that young Ray constantly carried a doll, which he called Stanley Mulver, with him, made his peers laugh at him. He would later project this experience of working with plasticine to work with 3d models.
Since then, he has worked in many areas of art, considering, however, most of them outright rubbish. From the age of 20, he worked in a hospital for sick children in Toronto, in which for 17 years he had seen everyone. Of course, this could not but affect his work. And on his psyche too. Sick people are scary. And sick children are even worse.
Ray Caesar tells how his mother, who had died a few months earlier, came to him one night, told him something about rabbits and their holes, and showed him pictures weird girls … His future paintings. Apparently, it was since then that this artist, who even had an Emmy nomination, has only been creating his psychedelic paintings in 3d applications.
“Now I live in a brick house with my lovely wife Jane and coyote Bonnie. I love to eat avocados and do not mind being a dog at all,”- confirms his out-of-the-box thinking with the words of Ray Caesar. There are many artists dedicated to the art of surrealism, madness and psychedelicism. We once wrote about the Renaissance technique of Madeline Forster, or, for example, about the absurd painting of Peter Saul. But Ray Caesar has something unique in his madness that defies explanation or logic.
This crazy artist has a very gloomy site where you can see and even order many of his works.
