Title: “iNKSCAPE SERIES”
Description:
Step into the monochromatic world of the “iNKSCAPE SERIES,” a trio of nearly identical, evocative acrylic on canvas artworks by artist Riley Vandervest, created in 2020. Each piece in this series measures 12 inches by 16 inches with a depth of 0.5 inches, offering a cohesive visual experience that explores the depth and texture of ink.
The “iNKSCAPE SERIES” presents a dynamic interplay of black and white, where splatters, drips, and brush strokes create an abstract landscape reminiscent of an inkblot test or a night sky filled with stars. The use of acrylic paint allows for a rich texture, with the black appearing to bleed into the white in some areas, suggesting movement and depth. The contrast between the dark and light areas invites viewers to find their own interpretations within the chaos, perhaps seeing figures, landscapes, or cosmic phenomena.
Riley Vandervest’s technique in this series involves layering and allowing the paint to interact in a way that mimics the natural flow of ink, creating a sense of spontaneity and freedom. The monochromatic palette focuses the viewer’s attention on form, texture, and the emotional response elicited by the stark contrast.

The “iNKSCAPE SERIES” would make a striking statement when displayed together in a modern gallery wall or individually in minimalist spaces, enhancing environments that celebrate the abstract and the evocative power of black and white. Riley Vandervest’s work not only decorates but also engages viewers in a visual dialogue, encouraging personal reflection and interpretation.
