Riley Payne
Riley Payne is an artist based in Melbourne, Australia.
Primarily making highly detailed drawings and pulling from a wide range of reference material, he makes work primarily influenced by popular culture/media, the pace at which this information is taken in and built up, and the inherent tools a person may have to slow down and process this information; tools such as humour, narrative and re-contextualization.
