48 Brian Wills Highlights 2004 oil pastel and encaustic on wood value $2,800-$3,200 24 x 48 x 1" courtesy of the Artist |
"An emerging, Los Angeles based artist, Brian Wills creates meticulously rendered paintings in encaustic, enamel, and oil on panel. His complex material configurations that include bass wood, delicate grooves and iridescence are matched by a commanding use of color. These works share a common denominator of vertical linear forms that engage the viewer in diverse experiential conditions of painting — from quick surface vibrations to immersive contemplative space. Wills' works offer a considered contribution to the realm of contemporary abstract painting." (The Happy Lion, Los Angeles) Wills received a BA from Denison University and a MA and law degree from Harvard. He his work has been included in group exhibitions at The Happy Lion, Scope Art Fair, Hayworth Gallery, and Gensler, all in Los Angeles, and at the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions. |
