X-Ray Eyes

"X-Ray Eyes" is an anthology of paintings, drawings, stories and poems by the acclaimed artist and writer Rex Sexton. "Quite simply, the art of Rex Sexton matters. In a world where crystal clear, laser sharp photgraphic images of skyscrapers, street signs, and beer bottles are considered high art and thoroughly modern, Sexton's paintings offer an antithesis where nuance and metaphor still allude to the great questions inherent to a thinking mind...Within his colors and forms lie the sadness of human isolation, the injustice of political systems, and the mystery of compassion." Robert Wayner Black Walnut/Robert Wayner Gallery Chicago, IL "Consonant with the vibe of his written work, [Sexton's] paintings convey a wide range of powerful emotions, especially through the well-drawn and expressive faces..." Kirkus Discoveries "Rex Sexton paints another kind of reality. He is an original." Mac Gilman Gilman/Gruen Gallery Chicago, IL
