Creepy ass Ray Donley. I was looking through his pictures today, and even though I really admire the colour, textures, obvious skill, and the way he seems to have captured a tangible hold on the uglier sides of human personalities, these pictures leave me a little uneasy. He seems to have a bit of the old world painter about him, styles like Da Vinci and Rembrandt, yet with an perverse twist more in tune with our century.Masks, knifes and darkness.
Also I very much like the umbrella under which he paints: The Art Of Los Bien Perdidos ( The Profoundly Lost Ones)
I like these too! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThey are good, how do they make you feel when you look at them? I really like them, even though they unsettle me somewhat, do they unsettle you at all?
ReplyDeleteI like the fact that they make me uneasy, they talk to the darker side of me, the side that wants to wear a mask.
