About the Item
British artist Ben Riley creates original mixed media pop-figurative artworks inspired by music icons, capturing the soul of his subject with carefully selected pieces of original vinyl records on canvas. Appealing to the eye, the ear, and the touch, his vinyl portraits, broken down into fragments, allow viewers to feel and visualize the vitality of pressed music which has been lost in the digital age. His paintings trigger memories and emotions about the music that inspires our daily life.
This one-of-a-kind 32 inch square artwork is a mixed media composition on canvas depicting music icon John Lennon. This portrait is made from fragments of authentic vinyl records sourced from charity shops. The background is painted with acrylic on canvas. Ben Riley has signed this work with a red wax seal on the bottom right corner of the canvas. This artwork is wired and ready to hang. It does not require framing. Free local Los Angeles area delivery is included. Affordable Continental U.S. and worldwide shipping are available. A certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery is included.
Music played a significant role in Riley's journey to becoming a professional artist. Ben Riley’s art is warm, rugged, and elegantly simple like the original vinyl records he re-purposes to create portraits imbued with the history and liveliness of music. Icons of music are recreated from the music form that made them. Each piece of vinyl is emotionally charged, some reflective, dazzling in different angles and lights, and some reserved and soft. Each portrait enraptures a nostalgic moment in time. According to Riley, vinyl is the only medium that allows his portraits to sing.
Since 2002, Riley's one-of-a-kind artworks have been gaining notoriety in the capture of the mood, soul, and character of a subject. Riley’s works have been collected internationally by celebrities and notable collectors and featured in media, television, and press worldwide.

- "Ben-day Sophia 1" Mixed media, Acrylic, spray paint, pigment ink 36x28 canvasBy CeravoloLocated in Southampton, NY"Benday Sophia 1" pays tribute to those paintings that became the trademark of Ceravolo's unique and trend setting style of painting. His work is collected worldwide and is in many important collections including, Sir Elton John, Rod Stewart, Hugh Hefner and Prince Jefri of Brunei to name only a few. In addition to those, his paintings came to popular attention when he was commissioned to create 5 large scale paintings for the lobby of The Palladium Theatre in New York City. In this painting, Ceravolo has featured an image of his pop art painting of Sophia Loren, and combined it with a pattern of benday dots to create the basis of "Benday Sophia 1". He then paints his trademark brush strokes and textures on the canvas over the pop art portrait. Then, he paints the "floating" illusion that creates the 3d floating effect he is known for. The Canvas measures 36x28".Category
