Represented by Vielmetter Los Angeles

As a perceptualist painter, Patrick Wilson creates hard-edge paintings that reflect seductive improvisations on radiant color and meticulous structure. In lineage with John McLaughlin, Fred Hammersley, and Karl Benjamin, he incorporates a fascination with the history of California hard-edge painting, light and space, and fetish finish into intensely colorful paintings of varying planes and opacities through fastidiously applied layers of acrylic paint. Over the past twenty years, Wilson’s works have continued to evolve with complexity and finesse through a consistently immaculate process of creating super-flat surfaces that seem at once both solid and transparent.

Finished paintings are pristine, but also carry evidence of the artist’s hand—a subtle bloom of color along an otherwise flawlessly straight line, a slight whimsy in the corner of a square—always inviting the viewer to slow down and examine their nearly sculptural surfaces. Wilson unleashes the full force of color, while offering optically ephemeral experiences through seemingly destabilized constellations of ever-shifting opaque and translucent planes.

**Patrick Wilson** was born in 1970 in Redding, CA and lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. He received his Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of California, Davis in 1993 and his Master of Fine Arts degree at Claremont Graduate University in Claremont, CA in 1995.
