Casey Gray

Ill Romantic features pieces which draw upon the duality of attraction and repulsion as it exists in relation to the human heart.  Casey Gray composes his mixed media pieces through a meticulous process of stenciling, layering, and various urban media techniques, a process which in many ways reflects the conceptual nature of his work's focus on true romanticism versus an idea of a commodified, culturally constructed, escapist romanticism.  His bright and colorful paintings are both graphically and conceptually compelling, as well as personally resonant for both the artist and viewer.
