About Me
Natural Constructivism
Trained at the Royal College of Art , ate Doughnuts with Eduardo Paolozzi and designed stuff for Vivienne Westwood, has a drawing in the permanent collection at the V & A , Riley paints to record the joins and cracks that let the light in , the intersections and energy lines that point to the circuitous nature of things . “Painting the power rather than the thing itself “ he calls this ‘Natural Constructivism’…most people would say its abstract realism with a hint of surrealism. He also has been known to paint dreams so lets roll our eyes skywards and wait for that .
My art business has been designated as a "Trusted Art Seller" with The Art Storefronts Organization, which means you can shop with confidence, and know that I stand behind the quality and value of my products.
