Arts Benicia announces an exciting new summer exhibition juried by Sacramentobased
artist Robert-Jean Ray. Ray's small format drawings, collage and mixed media pieces have been exhibited in galleries throughout the United States. He has contributed illustrations to numerous publications; collaborates with various artists, writers and performers; conducts artistic development workshops and curates exhibitions for art galleries and public institutions.
“During the early part of the twentieth century, modern artists were using collage and assemblage as a
means of getting from point to the next, in an effort to break free from academic constraints. Today, as
humanity strives to navigate through the perils and uncertainty of the twentyfirst century, collage and assemblage have become the most widely used stimuli for creative expression. Fragments: The Art of Collage and Assemblage celebrates the artistic achievements of ninetyfive inspiring artists. The exhibition represents diverse approaches, and responses, to the innovations of collage and assemblage.” ~ Robert-Jean Ray, Juror
