Papier Colle’ (collages)”
As a 20th century technique, collage is considered one of the major innovations of modern art. McRay adopts impromptu invention in the construction of his collages, which uses such materials as painted papers, photographic reproductions, snippets of photographs, scraps of fabric, elements from magazines, cut & torn paper, watermedia & acrylic paints. Collage empowers McRay to push the boundaries that allow the real world to infiltrate a painting, dissolve the conventions that separate art & life, high art & popular culture.
