Jonathan Adler is proud to announce an exclusive partnership with renowned San Francisco artist Rex Ray. The celebrated resin collage work of Rex Ray is now available only through Jonathan Adler stores and our website.

Rex Ray is a San Francisco based fine artist, whose paintings and drawings have been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums, including The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, University Art Museum in Berkeley, Crocker Museum in Sacramento, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco, Michael Martin Galleries, Gallery 16, New Langton Arts, and Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions.

He is also a celebrated graphic designer. He has created work for Apple, Dreamworks, Sony Music, Warner Brothers, City Lights Publishers, Serpent's Tail, The New Museum of Contemporary Art,
Rizzoli, Powerhouse, and Crown Books. His package designs for David Bowie, Joe Satriani, Diamanda Galas, Matmos, among others, 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, R.E.M., Bjork, U2, and Beck.

Combining various print materials, photographs, paint, and resin composed on wood panel, Rex Ray’s collages engage the viewer with an unexpected layering of vaguely familiar graphic media, scraps of text, abstracted swatches of photos and painterly strokes of acrylic, transforming them into sublime organisms undulating in environments that are at once controlled, geometric, chaotic and primordial.

The Rex Ray pieces available at Jonathan Adler are all original artworks, some examples of which are displayed here on our website. Many more versions are available, please email us at web@jonathanadler or call 1-800-963-0891 for more information.
