Untitled

A contemporary drawing by my brother. Probably ball point pen. Done in the past couple days I would imagine. Hand held. I make art because of him.❤️❤️❤️#brentriley (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUv3wIYrFi_/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Okker Art Gallery based in Amsterdam just started showing my paintings. Within days of opening the crate my paintings are on the walls at the Affordable Art Fair in Brussels! Stop in if you are in the neighborhood. #okker_art_gallery #bruceriley #contemporarypainting #chicagopainter #psychedelicart (at Chicago, Illinois) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUIOCSSLQHi/?utm_medium=tumblr

Pleasure Barge, 2020, 20” x 36”. A small opulent painting that took its title from Caligula’s pleasure barges on Lake Nemi. The predator class has been with us a long time. It is something that we all share to some degree no doubt. #bruceriley #organicabstraction #psychedelicart #Chicago painter #contemporarypainters #studiopractice #contemporarypainting #colortherapy #colorart #artdreams #paintingdetail #contemporaryartcollectors #abstractartcollectors #artcontemporary #contemporary_art #abstract_art #abstractpaintings #contemporaryabstractart #abstractartists #abstractartforsale #artshareinsta #abstractartwork #artistsofig #colorstudies #fluidart #artcollector https://www.instagram.com/p/CR9E9iDrJ9k/?utm_medium=tumblr

Electroweak, 2016 - 2021, 61 cm x 61 cm. Working flat I’m often not sure about the hanging orientation of a finish painting. Suspension of a meaning during the painting process allows the moments of making to be open ended and flexible. #bruceriley #organicabstraction #psychedelicart #Chicago painter #contemporarypainters #studiopractice #contemporarypainting #colortherapy #colorart #artdreams #paintingdetail #ontheeasel #contemporaryartcollectors #abstractartcollectors #artcontemporary #contemporary_art #abstract_art #abstractpaintings #contemporaryabstractart #abstractartists #abstractartforsale #artshareinsta #abstractartwork #artistsofig #colorstudies #experimentalart #fluidart #artcollector (at Gage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRgviLEL6j2/?utm_medium=tumblr

On the tables today. I think I’m going to let these become puzzles for a bit. Swim around in the uncertainty. A breast stroke more than likely. #bruceriley #chicagopainter #processpainter #contemporarypainting https://www.instagram.com/p/CPZJeaYHXBh/?utm_medium=tumblr

The harder you look the deeper it goes. Kinda like science. #bruceriley #contemporarypainting #chicagopainter (at Gage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPWnma8Hvqe/?utm_medium=tumblr

Had the first studio visit in over a year! A one person show for one person. Vito Desalvo of @firecat_projects firecatprojects and his two pups came by. Vito has a keen eye for my paintings and is giving me a show in Chicago!! Yay!! #bruceriley #firecatprojects #chicagopainter (at Gage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPHcNMRHNoA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Five footer in progress. My work went pretty small over the past year. As though I were in hiding. #bruceriley #contemporarypainting #studiopractice #chicagopainter (at Gage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CO5pTYCnp88/?igshid=bdcirsnvqavd
