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.

As part of our Winter group show titled For All We Know There Was, And All There Ever Be opens featuring George Cho, @selenawong.fineart and @adam_wallacavage inquire for a full VIP pdf now available✨
@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

“One’s home is like a delicious piece of pie you order in a restaurant on a country road one cozy evening - the best piece of pie you have ever eaten in your life - and can never find again.  After you leave home, you may find yourself feeling homesick, even if you have a new home that has nicer wallpaper and a more efficient dishwasher than the home in which you grew up." 
-   Lemony Snicket

O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An’ foolish notion:
What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us,
An’ ev’n devotion!

The Letter of Intent 2020 by Ray Caesar

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.

Simon and Garfunkle

As I took another breath, I saw the three stars again. They were not calling to me; they were letting me go, leaving me to the black universe I had wandered for so many lifetimes. I drifted into the black, and it got brighter and brighter. It wasn’t black at all—it was blue. Warm, vibrant, brilliant blue… I floated into it with no fear at all.

And once the storm is over you won’t remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won’t even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won’t be the same person who walked in. That’s what this storm’s all about.” –
Haruki Murakami, Kafka On The Shore

Save the date opening April 24 @raycaesar1111 new works with Gallery House authorized dealer @galerie_benjamin_eck “Modern Surrealism” will be opening a double solo show featuring rare and hard to find printers proof and last editions with a couple of new released goodies. The new works released are prints with an edition size of 5. This one featured is titled “The Quiet Room” Measuring 36 x 50” digital ultra chrome on archival paper edition of 5—
The Quiet Room is about rumination and dissociative aspects of my personality. It is a response to all those voices in my head speaking at once and my ongoing struggle to unify those fractured elements of my subconscious reality. She is claiming all the chairs in the room and learning to think as an individual, as it is her territory in a realm of her own time and space.
The Quiet room was also a revered place during the years I worked at theHospital For Sick Children in Toronto. This was the sacred room where parents took their last view of a deceased child. I passed this room every night as I left the hospital and it was anything but quiet. I always imagined an Angel sitting quietly in wait to take those children to the next world.
Ray Caesar
