Riley Vaughn

a visual artists based in Los Angeles utilizes a unique style of mixed media, texture, and in-your-face colors to create a conversation between himself and the viewer. 

In his current works, Vaughn explores personal relationships within the context of time, the idea of grasping for memories that define him, while also dealing with the inevitability of change. To tell his story, he displays playful caricatures that are often split, absurd, and accompanied by witty humorous writing.

In this exploration, objects have become enmeshed with his perception of time, revealing our tendencies as humans to associate existence with objects we deem important. In the end, the viewer observing his work is left wondering if the contrast is meant to express happiness or heartache.
