Gray was a prolific poster designer working regularly in all fields of advertising.
Overall, his posters reflect a very classic, realistic style, but there are a few extravagant exceptions. In at least three of his most famous posters, Petrole Stella included, Gray's style appealingly strays into a form of sensual cosmic imagery that was fashionable for posters of this period.
