The viscosity of Reilly's paint mixture/concoction results in fluid, wet-looking and reflective surfaces. These densely-polychromed paintings are an evolution of Reilly's earlier shaped-canvas illusionistic work, incorporating a cross-pollination of painting and sculpture. They differ from his earlier illusionsitic paintings by actually appearing to be thick, three-dimensional objects, as opposed to flat, layerd planes contrasted against hovering lines and shapes. This work reappraises and comments on evolving issues that originated in twentieth-century abstract painting and continue into today's contemporary genres.
