The following seventeen lots are original artworks by Terry Riley. During his career, Terry Riley has been an author, illustrator, graphic artist and watercolour artist. He has written, illustrated, or collaborated on approximately 50 titles covering a wide variety of subjects, but mainly aimed at younger readers. He has also designed commercial art for banks and other UK companies. It is little known that due to Riley's illustrations on the Noel Simon "Animal Families" series of books titled "Gorillas" (published 1978), he was approached by the film studio Warner Brothers who were making the film Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan, Lord of the Apes (1984). So impressed were they with his illustrations that he was commissioned to design the costumes and ape faces for the actors who were to play the leading ape roles. He received a copy of the full script and photographs of the actors in a crouched position from which he drew/painted the images for wardrobe to create. Riley was also commissioned to painted a life size painting in oils of a Stubbs Miniature titled "Horse Attacked By Lion". The original version (currently owned by the Tate but not on show) measures only 24.1 x 28.3cm, but Riley copied it in full detail to a size approximately 10 x 6ft. He spent about six weeks painting the picture in his bedroom. There is one scene in the film where Tarzan (played by Christopher Lambert) arrives at Greystoke and as he mounts a staircase, he stops and looks at the painting for around 60 seconds. Needless to say the painting was never returned to Riley, so one could only presume it is hidden in a studio warehouse or perhaps in a director's home. The unfortunate thing is that Riley was never actually listed on the credits of the film for this wonderful piece of art. Riley continued illustrating and collaborating with many other authors and publishing houses but he should not be confused with the American musician/author of the same name. Although he appears to have reduced or ceased the number of works he writes or creates, many of books and those done with Noel Simon can still be obtained through leading book specialists. TERRY RILEY; watercolour "Friends of the Deep", killer whale swimming alongside white dolphins from the "Whales - Animal Families" book by Noel Simon, signed, 27 x 47cm, framed and glazed.
