Ray Smith – Toss and Tumble

Ray Smith – Toss and Tumble

The Raffaelli Art Studio is pleased to present, for the first time in the gallery, a solo exhibition by Ray Smith, “Toss and Tumble”, which will open on Thursday 15 December 2016 in the presence of the artist. The fil-rouge that links the corpus of works on display – about twenty recent works – fixes the impressions suggested by the sinuous poses of the reclining female body, starting from the iconographic tradition that initiated Titian’s “Venus of Urbino”, then revisited over the course of the 18th and 19th centuries by masters such as Goya, Ingres and Manet.
