Ray Mann Art Exhibition
Since 2005, Sydney artist Raymond Wassef, a.k.a. Ray Mann, has been making music and art with soul band
The Ray Mann Three
. His debut into the art world is a retrospective of the gig posters, eflyers, motion graphics and music videos he has produced, presented by Somedays.
Inspired by 1950s music and film, and characterised by the same minimalist, low-fi aesthetic as his band’s music, Ray’s sketches, photography and design retain their original hand-generated warmth right through to the digital finish.
Until now, Ray’s band-related art has only ever been viewed on computer or TV screens, or when projected during the band’s live shows. This exhibition at Somedays marks the first occasion that the physical works will be presented as a collection in its own right.
