2 IN One EYE – An Anthology of Appearances and Art Actions

For the artists Budh &Ray, the formality between object and concept, subject and percept, detonates into a meteoric burst of conflations, freewheeling assemblages and delicate subterfuge. With minimal filtering between the folds of hypnagogia and tactile imagination, their pageant of synesthetic sensibility and visceral semiotics soars on visions of luck and grandeur. Like the effects of surreal interpolation—only all too real—everyday contexts in 2 IN One EYE are morphed into “baffling” or “released” depending on the perspective. Here is the first of the Budh &Ray art books introducing their assemblages, performance art and texts.

An Archetextural Digest – Artifactual Maneuvers and Indefinite Art

From a heightened synesthetic aptitude nurturing the founding of a restaurant-music venue to a mystical approach to formal logic and sensual contact... from a hands-on hands-off relationship with endless surface-play and purposefully uncompleted projects to curating Imagination itself... An Archetextural Digest presents more than just a sampler of Budh &Ray's artwork. Here we meet textural sensibilities blown from mystery and ideality as they're being tactically seduced into lyricism and artifact. All from their thoroughly flexible nose for art.

Magical Agreements – Art Incidences & Intrasensory Conduct

In this gallery of incidences and conduct the artists Budh &Ray engage awakened sleep, the not-yet of appearances, transpersonal glow and sources of reverie… shaping resonances between objects and color, words and silence, intelligence and beneficence. Heedless of appearing sophomoric while addressing perspectives regarding predication and method, Budh &Ray here circumscribe “art” and its reincarnations, position ideation by way of surprise, explore the ignition of inner tremble... through the beheld surface.

Absorbing Directions – Aesthetic Traction & Vivifactions

Positioning through medium-grade synesthesia and spirited self-improvisation, Budh &Ray endeavor to stir intention with aesthetic traction; to present their aspirations thru supernal orientations. Their work, initiated especially through touch and smell, embraces the “outside” of things by way of inward appointments: Left and Right emanate their limbic resonance; Up and Down configure their vertical travels; Forward and Back, the hidden geometries. From the frontiers of ardor, the cosmos’ own coordinates provide their means for dreaming inside of things. Here, amplifying their exceptional attitude, they portray a horizon of intimacies, aiming to vivify the Unseen

New Bodies – Configuring Attitude To Articulate Artifact

Finding that they’ve been dreaming inside one another, Budh&Ray’s inner-inner gathers a whirl of excitement. The moisture is perfect, the glow exudes a fragrant prospect. They awaken in the course of donning their surface, presenting a standing wave approaching the outside.  Seeing that mythic is as mythic does, they hatch themselves out of the egg, a feat of atmospheric spark. Inside-out, they climb into the unimpossible. Attitude diffusing, nosing about, a flexible proposal spawns a primal moment. At this point, the world offers itself as the seeming it elects for them to unseem. “It all has to do with how it can be done,” Budh&Ray muse, as their perception blossoms a festival

The Substance Of Feeling: The Aptitude For Art Implicit In World Conception

The very suggestion of image surfaces intimacies between textural buoyancy and bearing, density and deep fixity. With a sensitivity sparking a backdrop of impressions, a yet-to-open eye feeds the vision of it all, sending shivers into an array of resplendent feeling. Receptivity and all its underlay dresses to aspire. In this moment, Budh &Ray cross the threshold into objects. They soon fathom how this is attitude become substance for fashioning the world. This is aptitude demonstrating a way to begin. The Substance Of Feeling gathers once again a stirring and inspirited display of Budh &Ray's performance art, assemblages, text, paintings and projections.
