Ribley! has not left many paintings, partly because he preferred sculpturing, and partly because he used to overpaint his paintings repeatedly.  For Ribley! liked to experiment with numerous painting techniques, but he was seldom pleased with the final result, and so he overpainted his paintings again and again…

When he was still a child, Ribley! already made some unusual abstract paintings that he called phlegmarellas: he first mixed gouache with phlegm instead of water, and then squashed the sticky pulp of paint between gouache paper into rather abstract figures.  How could he know that the phlegmical bacteria would digest his works completely?

Some other of his painting experiments involve sprainting, reaction painting, potato painting, tattooing, baquarelles, paint hammerings, and of course object paintings

and collages.

All paintings can be clicked for an enlarged view and/or some comment.
