Other Art
Mexican culture is a strong influence in Rey's private and political art, in terms of vivid color palette, and the use of resonant symbolic objects to communicate specific meanings relevant to the subject. A strand of surrealism - for example, clouds on a blue sky recalling the work of Magritte - may be found interwoven with elements owing more to symbolism or magic realism. For many years he has also been collaborating with famed pottery artists Tiburcio, Carlos and Israel Soteno from Metepec, Edo. de México and with artist Octavio Gómez in San Carlos Academy, Mexico City.

Famous quotes containing the word art:
“O wise and upright judge!
How much more elder art thou than thy looks!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“A book should contain pure discoveries, glimpses of terra firma, though by shipwrecked mariners, and not the art of navigation by those who have never been out of sight of land. They must not yield wheat and potatoes, but must themselves be the unconstrained and natural harvest of their author’s lives.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
