ABOUT
Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects is pleased to announce the gallery’s sixth solo exhibition of new work by Patrick Wilson. Wilson is known for creating finely calibrated, luminous abstract paintings composed of lines and quadrilaterals. He uses a simple and straightforward medium, paint on canvas, to build a richly layered composition of complex spatial dynamics.
Despite the apparent precision of Wilson’s method, he produces paintings by intuitively exploring the relationships between color and shape. Nowhere is this playful attitude more obvious than in Wilson’s titles, which often connect his paintings to other, more quotidian, creative and sensual experiences like cooking and dining. This aspect of the work provides insight into Wilson’s personal philosophy that looking at and making paintings is a pursuit of pleasure and beauty, to be approached at a leisurely pace, without hermeneutic distraction.
Wilson describes this new body of work as “organic,” because the paintings appear to be in a constant state of slow motion or growth. Composed of solid geometries, Wilson’s new paintings are destabilized as they undulate with a vibrancy that contradicts their architectural references.
