RAY HARRIS-CHING. VOICE FROM THE WILDERNESS, the seventh book of his works to be published, addresses the artist's concerns and fears for our fragile earth and for the animals that live here with us. The animals shown in his majestic paintings may be as exotic as jungle Capuchin monkeys or as familiar as House sparrows. A painting may be as straightforward as a celebration of a Lyrebird's beauty, or as with Catalina Macaw (a painting of a cross-bred aviary bird apparently living in a jungle world), a complex work that set out to explore the consequences of our intrusion into the world's wild places.
Ray Harris-Ching travels widely in search of his subjects which so fire his thoughts and thrill him with their sensual beauty: this book contains nore than one hundred of the most recent of these paintings and drawings. Most of the new work included has been painted between 1988 and 1994 and shows clearly that neither his technique nor his vision has stood still during that time. Many of the paintings in this volume are reproduced with details that are the actual size of the original work. Thus one is brought as close as is possible, in the book form, to the experience of Harris-Ching's startling and beautiful paintings.
