NYAB Event - Enrico Riley "Around the Kitchen Table"

Enrico Riley "Around the Kitchen Table"

The Painting Center

This event has ended.

Enrico Riley's new body of work has embraced more of the intuitive both in terms of process and
in terms of subject matter. He is trying to work with the attitude that many sources and types of subject matter
can influence his work and that this information can be deployed in a nonlinear fashion. There are no set
rules about color, composition, style or subject matter. Through the activity of making, the works are allowed
to find what they need to exist. Enrico Riley received a BA in Visual Studies from Dartmouth College in
Hanover, NH and an MFA in painting from Yale University in New Haven, CT. He has twice been awarded
residencies at the Vermont Studio Center. Some of his solo exhibitions include Giampietro Gallery in New
Haven, CT, Pageant Gallery in Philadelphia, PA, and The Karl Drerup Art Gallery in Plymouth, NH. His
work has also been included in group exhibitions at Lori Bookstein Fine Art in New York City, Reeves
Contemporary in New York City, the American Academy of Arts and Letters in New York City, and the
Museum for the National Center of Afro-American Arts in Roxbury, MA, among other venues.
Enrico was awarded an American Academy of Arts and Letters Purchase Prize for his painting, "Giant Steps,"
which was placed at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts in Richmond, VA. In 2008, Enrico was awarded a
John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship for painting.
