“Creation” by Wiley Wallace
“Wiley is another artist I thought of immediately when I began thinking about this show. I invited him to be in the first show I ever curated and have been a fan ever since. He takes so many elements that feel like they might have been plucked from a Stephen King novel or an ‘80s video game cover, but makes them absolutely uniquely his own. Is it weird to feel nostalgic for the future? For a future we haven’t yet gotten and maybe never will? A future where children explore canyons filled with powerful crystals and floating ghosts and magic skulls and rainbow portals and mystical Rubik’s Cubes. His work always feels like the future and like my childhood, which is hard for me to wrap my head around. It’s exactly the tone I was hoping for in this show.” – Listfield
