Ray Donley Fine Art, Oil paintings. If you are interested in work by Ray Donley, please contact one of the following galleries: f8 Fine Art, Austin, TX - Trinity Gallery, Atlanta, GA - Jack Meier Gallery, Houston, TX - Blackhearth Gallery, London, UK - Marshall Arts Gallery, Scottsdale, AZ - Parchman Stremmel Gallery, San Antonio, TX - Sarah Bain Gallery, Los Angeles, CA. Since 1981 Mr. Donley has been exhibiting in museums, universities, and galleries within the U.S., Europe, and in Mexico. The figures portrayed in his paintings - paintings that have, over the years, attracted a near cult-like following - form a part of the cycle of work he calls Los Bien Perdidos (the profoundly lost ones). Mr. Donley currently lives in Austin, Texas. Ray Donley's paintings are part of the New Old Masterism, a slowly but steadily emerging trend in contemporary art, involving not so much a return to order as it was once called, but the realization that avant-garde art has become an institutional clich - hypertrophied, as Clement Greenburg put it years ago - and that what once looked like the clichs of Old Master art are still full of potential. Donley is clearly a master of the medium of oil paint, as his subtle layering and textural richness suggest. It is highly evocative - emotionally persuasive all the more so because of Donley's exquisite chiaroscuro. Donley's imagination needs no prompting. The Old Masters intuitively understood that there is always something strange in beauty, as the philosoper Francis Bacon said, a perception confirmed by the strange beauty of Donley's paintings, as well as the strangely philosophical figures that they bring to life. please email webmaster@raydonley-online.com.
