This is a small painting I just finished. (Title: ‘DUST’ - 13 x 13") for an exhibition of historical and contemporary ‘Memento Mori’ paintings and sculpture at the MUSKEGON MUSEUM OF ART in Muskegon, Illinois. The exhibition is Titled ‘UNDYING TRADITIONS: MEMENTO MORI’* The exhibition will run from December 19, 2019 through March 29, 2020.
* About Memento Mori: The Memento Mori (which translates to 'remember death’) is a Medieval Latin Christian philosophy that encourages reflection on mortality, on the inevitability of death, and the transience of mortal pleasures and accomplishments. While most familiar to Western audiences through the art traditions of 17th century Europe, the memento mori appears across multiple cultures from around the world, from the Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians to the early Buddhists.

This is ‘MICROVERSE 1’ My painting from 2014. Several elements from this piece, (like the winged creatures) were taken from previous paintings, and newly developed ones, (like the flower snail, lower left) were used again in subsequent paintings, in an ever evolving collection of my personal visual vocabulary. I persistently draw upon elements that I’ve developed in previous works to help me make new paintings.

10 years ago I was doing work like this: The painting is titled “ANTAGONY” as in “antagonistic.” As in, “hostility, anger, aggressiveness, belligerence. Like the world actually is.

“Tal vez fue éste el momento en el que ayer tuvo lugar para siempre un gran cambio en nosotros… Hemos entrado en una nueva realidad en la que todo tiene otros colores y otros acentos… Cada encuentro es también una despedida.. .Le amo con todo el desinterés que he llegado a descubrir en mí misma, y no quiero transmitirle el más mínimo peso de mis temores y mis deseos. Incluso renunciaré al deseo de poder quedarme con él hasta el último instante."⠀

"Perhaps this was the moment when yesterday a great change took place in us forever… We have entered a new reality in which everything has other colors and other accents… Each meeting is also a farewell…. I love him with all the disinterest that I have come to discover in myself, and I do not want to transmit the slightest weight of my fears and my desires. I will even give up the desire to be able to stay with him until the last moment."⠀

Estoy aprendiendo a abandonar el mundo⠀
antes de que él pueda abandonarme a mí.⠀
Ya he renunciado a la luna⠀
y a la nieve, cerrando mis persianas⠀
a los reclamos de lo blanco.⠀
Y el mundo se ha llevado⠀
a mi padre, mis amigos.⠀
He renunciado a las líneas melódicas de las colinas,⠀
trasladándome a un paisaje plano, mudo.⠀
Y cada noche renuncio a mi cuerpo⠀
miembro a miembro en sentido ascendente⠀
a través de mis huesos hacia el corazón.⠀
Pero llega la mañana, con breves⠀
aplazamientos en la forma de café y el canto de los pájaros.⠀
Al otro lado de la ventana un árbol⠀
que hasta hace unos instantes no era más que una sombra⠀
recupera sus ramas hoja a hoja.⠀
Y mientras yo recupero mi cuerpo⠀
el sol apoya su cálido hocico en mi regazo⠀
como para enmendar el daño ocasionado.⠀
⠀
I AM LEARNING TO ABANDON THE WORLD⠀
I am learning to abandon the world⠀
before it can abandon me.⠀
Already I have given up the moon⠀
and snow, closing my shades⠀
against the claims of white.⠀
And the world has taken⠀
my father, my friends.⠀
I have given up melodic lines of hills,⠀
moving to a flat, tuneless landscape.⠀
And every night I give my body up⠀
limb by limb, working upwards⠀
across bone, towards the heart.⠀
But morning comes with small⠀
reprieves of coffee and birdsong.⠀
A tree outside the window⠀
which was simply shadow moments ago⠀
takes back its branches twig⠀
by leafy twig.⠀
And as I take my body back⠀
the sun lays its warm muzzle on my lap⠀
as if to make amends.⠀
⠀

“La maternidad era un asunto muy misterioso. Qué valiente debía ser una mujer para embarcarse en algo así, pensó mientras reflexionaba sobre la trayectoria vital de su madre / Motherhood was a very mysterious affair. How brave a woman must be to embark on such a thing, she thought as she reflected on her mother’s life trajectory."⠀

“Es el miedo que hizo que los peces salieran del agua y desarrollaran pulmones, el miedo que nos enseña a correr, el miedo que hace que enterremos a nuestros muertos / It is the fear that made the fish come out of the water and develop lungs, the fear that teaches us to run, the fear that makes us bury our dead."⠀

Prairie Smoke ~To embrace wildness is to humble yourself. Nature has a way of roots and decay. A way of floating seed floss, and sticky seed burs. Seeds swallowed by blackbirds, seeds gathered by others. Seeds called by sunlight and cradled by moss. The prairie smoke, though tiny, sends her seeds far upon the breeze. You do not grow a prairie, but open your land to her wild hand, and a prairie may gather itself to you.
Prairie Smoke is one of my favorite prairie flowers. I love its enchanting wispy seeds and lacy leaves. This painting was shown at the Octagon as part of Prairie Seed Dreaming. It is now available. Link in bio.

Yes, it’s a good day for singin’ a song,
And it’s a good day for movin’ along;
Yes, it’s a good day, how could anything go wrong,
A good day from mornin’ till night.
Yes, it’s a good day for shinin’ your shoes,
And it’s a good day for losin’ the blues;
Ev'rything to gain and nothin’ to lose,
‘Cause it’s a good day from mornin’ till night.
I said to the sun, “good mornin’, sun.
Rise and shine, today”
You know you’ve gotta get goin’
If you’re gonna make a showin’
And you know you’ve got the right of way
'Cause it’s a good day for payin’ your bills;
And it’s a good day for curin’ your ills,
So take a deep breath and throw away your pills;
'Cause it’s a good day from mornin’ till night.

My work isn’t really for looking at as that is not my intent. you are not looking at a image of these expressions as a voyeur but for a single moment you “are” these expressions. She is something you wear for just a second and become a part of ….and hopefully it reflects more about you in the wearing than it does about me.

@galleryhouse_belinda featuring a number of new works virtual tour to be released soon of @raycaesar1111 depicted here ”Sirens of Cythera” digital ultrachrome on panel with varnish measuring 30 x 40” image size one of a kind.
⠀
I have always been fascinated with paintings related to Cythera, by the French painter Jean-Antoine Watteau; the Embarkation for Cythera, the Pilgrimage to Cythera, and Les Deux Cousines. In the ancient world, Cythera, one of the Greek islands, was thought to be the birthplace of Venus, goddess of love. The subject of Cythera may have been inspired to Watteau by certain 17th century operas or plays. In Florent Carton Dancourt’s Les Trois Cousines (The Three Cousins), a girl dressed as a pilgrim steps out from the chorus line and invites the audience to join her on a voyage to the island, where everyone will meet their ideal partner. I suppose in uncertain times I feel a call to those Arcadian places of peace and serenity, and it’s worth noting that some aspects of the models and figures in this piece were created in virtual reality using Oculus Quest 2, which is a first for me. The idea of escaping into a virtual environment is directly related to my obsession with dissociation and the paracosms of the stories I have built up in my mind over a lifetime. ~Ray Caesar

One of my many imagined anxieties is a form of agoraphobia, the fear of the outside world, and in my case, an overwhelming astonishment of how huge the sky is above my head. This compounded by my certain suspicious nature that gravity may prove to be a theory that is in fact unproven and fallible.
Each day I force myself to put on my coat and shoes and hitch up my little rat terrier “Finnegan” in his vestments and venture out for what I call “My Daily Constitutional”. I think I first heard the term in the 1960s comedic movie “ The World of Henry Orient” with Peter Sellers. As I have now watched that film hundreds of times as it reminds me of my childhood steeped in a dissociative world of my own making.
Every single day I stand in front of that door that leads to the outside world and as Finnegan gives me a little mental shove, we are off on one of our many daily constitutionals. I let him guide the way as we walk through the now pandemically empty streets of University of Toronto and like him, I keep my head down and generally try to avoid looking up at that amazing, glorious and stunningly beautiful sky. ~Ray Caesar
