Artist Statement for Ray Donley
|
|
|
I am a painter who, against all odds, creates Baroque-inspired, psychologically charged fictional portraits that seek to illuminate aspects of the human condition. But somehow it isn’t just merely, or only, that today, more than ever, we have with us, in proportion to all things, some sense of what we, as early twenty-first century individuals and as latent homo sapiens, are in fact aware of, but that we have also, mutatis mutandis, an overwhelming sense of the fact, or the suspicion, or the delusion, that...that…that the proportion is, in effect, symbolic of the, as it were, larger diminution of that same awareness, though, at the same time, we feel the utter and collective outrage at having to, say, and I’m not making this up, sit up to our waist in slightly cooked but still-moist couscous.
