Women have always been the artist's muse. It is thus fitting to view four of Ray Caesar's iconic women to embody the universal characters of humanity as rooted in The Four Elements: Fire, Air, Earth and Water. The concept of the classical elements representing the realms of the cosmos wherein all things exist and whereof all things consist has proved extremely persistent in all cultures from antiquity to the present, influencing disciplines as widespread as medicine and astrology. It is a concept that will continue to make lasting impressions upon the human psyche, as do the women of Ray Caesar. After all, it is a little like looking at ourselves, but with all our fears and passions revealed.
Wind can chill you and can blow you away, but at its core is a mysterious current. Caesar's girl with a smoking pipe is vague and condescending, sweet and sultry, guilty and innocent. In essence a mystery.
