Though another of Ray’s full-scale male nudes met an ignomious end when Boy With Frog (2008) was removed from its canal-side perch in Venice, the artist has continued to develop his brand of hyperrealist statuary, most recently with a show of three solid stainless steel figures at Matthew Marks in late 2012. The most impressive of these, the nude and bearded Young Man, conjured the feeling of stumbling upon the “Hipster” display in a museum from the future.
