David Riley
“Everyone has an imagination. Imagination is a human emotion. You’ll find that imagination is based on human feeling.”
Riley's acrylic paintings explode with energy and color, drawing the viewer into his vividly rendered and detailed worlds that depict environments both real and imagined.
Inspired by landmarks in his hometown of Boston, classic television, and pop culture, Riley’s work invites his audience into an alternative universe that is both comfortably familiar and delightfully psychedelic.
David Riley lives in East Boston, Massachusetts.
