Blake Rayne (b. 1969) is an American painter known for his rigorously conceptual approach to painting that investigates the historical and material conditions of the medium. His works often take the conventions of painting — stretcher bars, canvas, pigment, display — as their subject, creating works of spare formality and conceptual depth. He has exhibited widely at major institutions.
