Eternal Friends (2018)

Annie Riga

Falmouth University graduate, Annie Riga, harmonises the content of the otherworld - a place rife with nature, glittering stars, and fierce magic… with a more grounded realistic worldview, to create enigmatic visions.

Take for example, ’Sometimes We Are Not Sleeping',  the deity-like subject of this piece finds themselves lost within an illuminous cosmos, though within this incomprehensible place, our subject begins to explore with composure and nobility.

Riga is intriguing for her use of the otherworld as a metaphor, but also her dazzling palette and unique mark-making.
