Priley Riley, An update on my work, February 2016


Since my last post I have been fortunate enough to visit galleries in England, Sweden, Denmark and Italy. In particular, I would recommend Denmark’s National Gallery and Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, and the Accademia Gallery in Venice, Italy.

In terms of making artwork, I have mainly focused on producing watercolour paintings, such as the one shown below of my dad. In addition, I completed my 9000 word/ 58 page dissertation for my degree last month, which discusses whether art documentation can simultaneously be considered a form of art through artist self-publishing.

My degree show is in June this year, so I have been busy producing artwork and doing a considerable amount of research, mainly into Post-Conceptualism, Hyperrealism and Photorealism, the Renaissance artists, artists that have won major art competitions, and any other areas of art that interest and inspire me. At the moment, my plan for the degree show is to produce and display a variety of drawings, paintings, prints, sculpture, etc. I aim to provide regular updates on my work for the degree show as it progresses, and I will also give other areas of my blog an update.

Finally, I am keeping an eye out for further art competitions to enter.
