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 is returning to his roots with paintbrush in hand, searching for meaning in his Third score of the "four score and ten" . “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 .
