Artist Biography
“The thing that makes anything interesting to do, or something you can learn from, is your attitude when you do it.” –W.T.W.
Taking direction from this declaration, William Wiley invites viewers into a wild, exciting, and thoughtful conversation about all that makes life interesting. Utilizing his fine draftsmanship and love of freeform language associations, the artist comments on current political and social issues. Sprinkling art historical references throughout his work, Wiley invokes the Old Masters, Impressionists, and Abstract Expressionists to deliver his visual and verbal puns.
Selected Collections: Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; The Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; The Stedelijk van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven, The Netherlands.
