Digital Dreams by Ray Caesar
Ray Caesar is a visual, surreal artist and digital painter residing in Toronto, Canada. He was born in London, England in 1958, emigrated to Toronto in 1967. Artist creates his dream-like images with a 3D modeling software.
Caesar works in Maya, using it to create his figures as well as the virtual realms in which they exist. Through the program, he builds digital models with invisible skeletons and anatomical joints that can be bent and manipulated to assume any pose. He wraps the models in rich textures, adding hair, skin, eyelashes and fingernails. Then places them in digitally lit, impeccably detailed 3D environments built with architectural layers, windows, wallpapers, curtains and furnishings.
Caesar’s meticulous process incorporates elements of drawing, painting, collage and sculpture, working countless hours to achieve every remarkably intricate tableau. Further emphasizing his sculptural technique, Caesar compares his process of 2D printmaking with imagery created in 3D as being similar to the practice of capturing stills from video and film. via
