Dreamlike Digital

I’ve always been tentative about embracing animation and digitally rendered art, particularly because of my often classical idealization of art. It was a surprise to me when a friend of mine recommended me to look at the art work of Ray Caeser, a Toronto based artist who has achieved a fair amount of critical acclaim. At first glance, I was instantly in love with the Marie Antoinette esque women in his artwork and the juxtaposition of the creepy Tim Burton- like details. Only upon closer research did I learn that this art work was in fact digitally rendered.

The art work which Caeser himself proclaims to be “dreamlike digital”, is something to be admired for not only its beauty but also the creativity and artistic powers that I had previously not associated with animation.

Here are a few of my favourite pieces:
