Eccentric British artist Ray Caesar is a shy and reclusive artist whose imagination seeps through every piece he creates. Doll-like creatures with haunting personalities populate much of his digital artwork. Caesar draws inspiration from the things that are often overlooked in the world, such as abandoned stores or old carpeting, as well as his own life.

'I don’t really approach my work with a preconceived message but I do find a continuation of a process that unfolds that surprises even me after I finish the work. It does seem that my work contains aspects of a story that unfolds and has a great deal to do with a process of intense psychotherapy and the years of dealing with dissociative identity disorder (a form of multiple personalities) and trauma I went through in childhood...'

"People think I paint pictures of children," says Ray Caesar, emphatically adding, "I don't!" As the Toronto-based artist explains, "I paint pictures of the human soul... that alluring image of the hidden part of ourselves. Some call them ghosts or spirits, but I see them as the image of who we truly are, made manifest with all the objects nad bruises that filled the story of each life."

As are set to run off to Miami this week for the annual Art Basel event, we take a look at Corey Helford's preview for their booth at Scope Art Fair. Amongst a huge list of artists, Corey Helford Gallery will exhibit D*Face, RISK, Nick Walker, Michael Mararian, Hush, Ray Caesar, and Ron English.

Toronto-based Ray Caesar opened a new solo show, A Dangerous Inclination, at Corey Helford Gallery this past weekend. Amongst the opening night photos, there is an incredible cake that was made inspired by Ray Caesar's work that is worth a look. Photos after the jump . . .

Juxtapoz alumnist Ray Caesar is set to open a solo exhibition in Los Angeles, A Dangerous Inclination, his first at Corey Helford Gallery this Saturday, October 22. The digital artist will present 30 new pieces, of which Caesar notes, “I look inside myself and see very difficult and wonderful memories I have forgotten... [This exhibition] communicates what I am finding."
