As an artist, Rex has been almost forgotten for quite a long time. The man who shows us the darker shades of gay desire in tiny points which become impressive ink mosaics was simply too extreme for the mainstream. But now there is finally a comprehensive collection of the ingenious work of Rex. His gloomy masterpieces lead us into a world full of lust and submission, full of dominance and sexual power. It’s high time to rediscover this unique artist.
"Rex the artist is a historian, a voyeur, a muckraker and a trouble maker, a provocateur, a sensualist and a hedonist, the sensitive and observant portrayer of a secret world…
The world of leather and denim, steamy basements and grimy garages, anonymous sweaty tops and groveling sexpigs is perfectly suited to his black & white detailed and moody pointillistic renderings."
-Bob Mainardi, San Francisco, 2012
