Im an international artist working between Grenada west Indies and Harlesden, my work is deeply personal and explores the energy that links us and the possibility of a higher power, with paintings full if thought and emotion. I draw inspiration from the streets of north west London, the Welsh hills of my parents and the Caribbean light and colour to create captivating and
thought-provoking works showcasing a Modern Art style with a unique Caribbean twist. The art is a reflection of my life experiences, both positive and negative. I recently did my first solo show in Portobello rd in April ....for more info Visit

PJ Riley's oeuvre is a fascinating amalgamation of abstract expressionism and narrative storytelling, which together forge a compelling visual language that speaks to the contemporary soul. The artist's style is deeply rooted in the expressive potential of color, form, and composition, creating artworks that are not just visually arresting but also emotionally resonant. The use of color in Riley's work is both bold and nuanced. Vibrant hues clash and harmonize within the same canvas, suggesting a world where emotion and thought are rendered visible. The artist employs color to navigate the extremes of human experience, from the fiery reds and oranges that seem to evoke the intensity of passion or conflict, to the soothing blues and purples that might suggest contemplation or melancholy. Each painting is a spectrum where colors interact, fight, and dance, often leaving the viewer to ponder the underlying narrative or sentiment.
