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 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

- The Secret Life of Birds - Complex Grouping of Figures at a Cafe, Original OilBy Benjamin DukeLocated in Chicago, ILStory Short-story Once upon a time, five women met up at an outdoor café. They sat around the table sipping their coffee and chatting, one caught everyone's attention, because she was dressed up in a metallic suit, complete with robotic wings, resembling a robot bee. The others were impressed by her outfit and asked her about it. She explained that she was a performance artist and was on her way to a show. Another woman pulled out a cigarette and started smoking, ignoring the "no smoking" sign. The others frowned at her, but she just shrugged and continued puffing away. The third woman had a dead bird. She explained that she had found it on her way to the café and had brought it along to see if anyone could identify the species. Just as they were about to order their food, a swarm of bees suddenly descended on the café, buzzing around the tables and chairs. The women panicked, swatting at the bees and ducking for cover wondering why they had worn so many flowers. But then something surprising happened. The woman dressed as a robot bee stood up and raised her arms, and the bees suddenly started swarming around her, as if she were their queen. She calmly led the bees away from the café, and soon they disappeared into the distance. The other women were amazed, and the smoker even stubbed out her cigarette in awe. They all thanked the robot bee woman and chatted excitedly about what had just happened. The time traveler was fascinated by the scene in front of her and watched the women with interest. She noticed the woman with the dead bird and wondered how she had come to possess it. As she continued to observe, she realized that the woman had found the bird on a time-traveling expedition and had accidentally brought it back to the present. As the time traveler watched...Category
