About the Item

Most artists develop a basic language that they reconfigure and recapitulate in each new work. For some this basic language is formal: color, shape and texture. For some it is a system of symbols, representational or abstract. For some the basic language take the form of ideas that communicate a viewpoint or philosophy. Marcos Raya's basic language is a repertoire of striking images that expose the turmoil of his inner life and struggles to be in the world. Revelatory artworks (as opposed to confessional artworks) may not hold center state in contemporary culture, yet the lineage of this practice is deep, connecting to the ancient and the mythic. -Lynne Warren Marcos Raya Thru the Eyes of Van Gogh, circa 2010 oil on canvas 36h x 58w in 91.44h x 147.32w cm MSR005 Marcos Raya brings together old and new works in a variety of media that mostly explores the sociological impact of technological change. His paintings, collages and installations present an idiosyncratic hybrid of Mexican folklore, American pop-culture. His work has more affinities with Dada and Surrealism, infused with elements of Chicago-Style Pop-Expressionism and Machismo. Through an extension of his own personal space, his frontier is filled with assemblage that takes life from the residue of crisis. His installations operate as both a self-portrait and collective history. In the context of a merging reality of medical and psychological proportions. His active space is an esthetic of abundance and display that presents traces of the ongoing struggles with urban displacement. Raya’s edge is both intimate in a domestic construction and sinister in a spectacle of public dimension. Marcos Raya's work can be found in collections all over the world. He is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA), Chicago, The National Mexican Fine Arts Museum, Chicago and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston

Eyes of Shivers - Cinema Inspired Oil Painting w/ Couple Embracing and a Dog
Located in Chicago, IL
In Shivers, a disease is spread through the throat, resulting in a zombie-like infection. In this painting, coupled with an image from The Eyes of Laura Mars, is a reference to ideological possession and the use of compelled speech. It is a concern towards those who display totalitarian traits in their quest for justice, too caught up in their own righteousness to really consider the damage they are doing. The do in the background stands above the lifeless body of a woman, it is dogma and its dismantlement of womanhood. Inspired by the films Shivers, 1975 The Eyes of Laura Mars, 1978 Georgia Hinaris Eyes of Shivers oil on panel 16h x 24w in 40.64h x 60.96w cm GHS003 Horror films are the most profound and visceral of films, garnering the most extreme responses: vehement hatred and cultish admiration. Horror elicits a controlled neurosis while exposing the rejected weaknesses and brutalities of humanity. I embrace the power of cinema and its ability to alter perception, as it is media that is a reflection of our primordial desires. I’m fascinated by concepts involving the limits of human perception, the ambiguity of morality in relation to nature, the paradoxical nature of reality, and the human struggle to reckon with uncertainty. Humans bear the burden of being as we are, all caught in a flux of unbelievable cognitive abilities and animalistic instincts. Every painting is in its own universe and I cater to it. Nothing is precious. Chaos is embraced.
