Enter the Gallery: Where Emotion Drips in Color
Ric Epley’s abstracts are portals — tequila-fueled fever dreams, blues-born laments, tech-tormented visions.
Six series, endless stories. Click any image for full-size view, dimensions, and artist insights.
LIQUOR SERIES
“Tequila”
“Tequila is a distilled beverage made from the blue agave plant… This was the first painting in the series — completely unplanned.
It simply screamed Mexico, then tequila. Arguably the most infamous liquor, it eventually makes one crazy.
Notable fans: Kenny Chesney, Grace Potter, Jimmy Buffett, The Eagles… and every gringo who ever lived.” <click here to see Liquor Series>
TECH SERIES
“Data Mining”
“My Master’s thesis explored tech stress and society’s growing addiction to screens.
These paintings are visual expressions of that anxious digital age we all live in.” <click here to see Tech Series>
ARCHANGEL SERIES
“Uriel”
“Through research and deep introspection I began to ‘see’ these divine beings in vivid color.
These paintings are my attempt to capture even a fraction of that transcendent energy.” <click here to see ArchAngel Series>
BLUES SERIES
“Damn Right I Got The Blues”
“Born from endless hours of blues music on full blast — translating raw emotion into paint.
Somehow red always forced its way in as the perfect counterpoint to all that blue.” <click here to see Blues Series>
OZ SERIES
“Money Money Money”
“Created as live visuals for a performance fusing Pink Floyd’s The Wall with The Wizard of Oz —
a deep dive into isolation, societal pressure, and the redemptive power of imagination.” <click here to see Oz Series>
IMPACT SERIES
“Jim’s Wall”
“Five original 6 × 6 ft monumental works. Two in Indianapolis, one in Switzerland, one missing in action,
and the final piece still available.” <click here to see Impact Series>
