About the Item

This 19.625" x 15.625" oil on canvas painting is by American artist, Jim Riley. The painting presents a frontal, half-length portrait of a figure with wavy brown hair and a calm, introspective gaze, rendered with expressive brushwork suggestive of figurative expressionism. The layering of pigments in the face and hair creates subtle chiaroscuro, lending dimensionality without rigid linearity. The figure's attire, a gray-and-black garment with possible formalwear allusions, anchors the composition with vertical elements, while the warm-gray, non-specific background evokes modernist spatial flattening. The ornate gilded frame offers a deliberate contrast to the gestural brushwork, referencing academic portrait traditions. Jim Riley (1937-2015). Riley was born in Cleveland, Ohio, and graduated from Collinwood High School in 1956 where he was inducted into their Hall of Fame because of his numerous contributions to the arts. After graduation, Jim entered the Cleveland Institute of Art, graduating in 1960. Upon graduation, Jim worked for the American Greeting Card Company, Cleveland and Mosaic Tile Company in Zanesville, Ohio. Mr. Riley was an accomplished portrait artist, and a member of the American Portrait Society, the Portrait Society of America, and the American and Philadelphia Watercolor Societies. He was a past president of the Lancaster County Art Association and was a long-time exhibitor at the Lititz Outdoor Art Show as well as various Lancaster, Pennsylvania galleries and shows.

'Rona Wars: Cyberpunk Edition, ' by XVALA, Mixed Media Painting
By XVALA
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This 61" x 44" mixed media painting by the artist XVALA is from his series 'Pandemic Collection: 6.' The painting was created with iridescent oil stick and spray paint on a screen print of a Star Wars poster. The abstracted "Basquiat-inspired" work depicts a silver robot with red eyes and large white teeth on a purple and blue background with the text 'cyber punk' in red at the bottom of the painting. 2020 twisted human reality in a number of ways no one could ever have predicted. XVALA pays tribute to this by melding the original Star Wars movie poster with the unexpected weirdness of the 21st Century. By combining a classic sci-fi villain with a modern symbol of literal Cyberpunk, XVALA shows the COVID-19 virus aimed straight toward the earth with a mission to destroy it. Exhibited during the Pandemic Paintings exhibition at the Meme Ranch August 7th, 2020. XVALA's art illuminates the hidden fallout spawned from our high tech Internet age. His' Fear Google' campaign exposed the decay of privacy and 'No Delete' used hacked nude celebrity photos to highlight loss of control over personal information. The artist has worked with trash from the homes of Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, and others, as well as dirt from the graves of George Orwell and Aldous Huxley. The dirt appears in the 'New World Order' collection as part of a pyramidal, 3D printed, living ant farm...
