CLR

What's up Chris Riley? Chris recently had a couple new paintings in a couple of gallery shows in Cincinnati.

Check out the contrast of the sleak, icy skateboard piece, which has a modern look and a friendly elephante in the middle, with the cool mixing of styles in the Fringe piece. It has abstract in the background with representational drawings in the house, etc, and on top of that, literally, is the sort of kinda-not-cubist figure bolted on to the canvas. Very experimental, very cool.

Chris also posted a ton of in-process pics so you can see how these pieces came together. Click paintings 3 and 4 here.

Ahh, Dan. You've made my morning shine, with praise for things divine..like art. Thank you for the promo and verbage. Your insight into my pieces has made me appreciate them in a different way yet getting exactly what I was intending without knowing it myself.
Your website is a great inspiration for creative individuals. Lots o content and links to cool "Moe D".
