Violent Violin with Poem (2019) Digital Arts by Charles Riley
"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

Of all the great artifacts of war,
The most curious and fantastical
Was the violent violin of the vanquished.
It was the unfortunate development of A.I. that took a bad violin
To new levels of gratuitous torture.
The resulting violin was held in the most fearful regard even
By those unlucky virtuosos who unleashed its’ terrifying power
On their unfortunate victims.
The weapon proved so astoundingly effective
That is was banded from further use in warfare
On the highest moral certainty of humanitarian grounds.
The collateral damage was effectively total
As music is no longer taught in schools
And the resultant social disorder is complete
Having sunk to the lowest common denominator
Which is Zero.
It is said that the A.I. inspired music had the screech
Of an abandoned soul.
It had the nerve debilitating scratch of a clawed bone.
Combined with the endless reverberation of lost atonal meaninglessness
And the escalating unresolved tension
That tenses and contorts in the unrelenting
Art of senseless torture to leave one and all
On the everlasting brink of a death hopelessly dangled
As the only means of escape.
This violent violin having completed Armageddon
Is now available at Sotheby’s auction house
For the unbelievable starting price of five counterfeit dollars.
This exquisite violin can be yours to admire and ponder
As you are drawn irresistibly
Into the dark powers of possession,
The overwhelming desire for self-importance,
And the greatest of dark powers to destroy all opposition,
Which is strictly prohibited and we expect you to behave.

At an early age I learned about art from an aunt who was an established artist. My father taught me a love of literature. My B.A. was in English Lit. My graduate degrees from Columbia University were in studio art and teaching of college studio art.
As part of my studies at Columbia, I studied communication theory under Louis Forsdale. As a result, I learned how important the primal mediums of painting, poetry, and drawing were to ballance the deluge of electronic media.
I had exhibitions in New York City during and after my grad work at Columbia. These included: The Macy Gallery at Columbia; Hudson Valley '85 National Exhibition Juried by Barbara Haskell, Curator of the Whitney Museum; Ariel Gallery in NYC; The Emerging Collector in NYC; Eighth Annual Exhibition of Emerging Artists at the Bronx Museum of the Arts; and In Search of the American Experience by The Museum of the National Arts Foundation. There were also reviews in The New York Times, ArtSpeak (a Gallery Review), and the Bronx News.
More recently, I show my work online at charlesrileyart, exhibit in shows at the Fredericksburg Center for Creative Arts in Fredericksburg, VA. From 2012 through 2013 I displayed my artwork at Art First in Fredericksburg VA. Fredericksburg and Art First are very magical places if you ever get a chance to visit.
My artwork includes painting, mixed media, photography, and computer art, as well as a synthesis of the media. The work is expressionistic and it reflects what it is to be human. My writing, which I combine with the artwork, also reflects the human condition. The artwork is also a means to balance mundane conditioning that distracts us from the unconditioned creativity of the universe. My artwork is fed by relationships and other pursuits and studies such as Tai Chi, Taoism, Literature, Music, Media, and Art.
I studied Tai Chi with Master Da Liu in the 80's at Columbia University and I've been practicing and teaching since. I'm now teaching at two community centers in the Fredericksburg, VA area.
