James Rielly

French artist James Rielly lives and works in France. His works on paper depict quietly intense memories of childhood. Thinly veiled washes of paint on thick handmade paper create a mood of tactility and sensitivity that can be in stark contrast to the darker, more brooding subjects that underlie the apparently latent imagery.

Recent exhibitions include: Beyond Differences, Galleria in Arco, Torino (2007), Tell us a story, Galleria Ramis Parquet Chelsea, New York (2006), Life of Rielly, World Gone Mad, Herbert Read Gallery and touring (2006), Timothy Taylor Gallery, London, UK (2005), Made in East London, Galeria DV, San Sebastián, Spain (2004), Late and Early, a split-site installation at the Round Room, Talbot Rice Gallery, Edinburgh and Timothy Taylor Gallery, London, (2003)
