Raandesk Gallery of Art announces the exhibition of mixed-media works by Robert Kent Wilson, on view from March 18 - April 16, 2010. Drawing from a selection of works created between 2000 and 2010, Robert Kent Wilson: Pixel by Pixel presents an overview of the artist's evolution throughout the past 10 years. On view will be richly hued abstract landscapes and object studies that draw corners, crevices, and background imagery to the forefront in striking investigations of color, texture, focus, and form.
Taking as his starting point what he calls "discarded stimuli", or those normally overlooked points of focus, Wilson assembles collages made of written text and found materials such as discarded photographs, color sketches, leaves, and tree bark. A small cropped-out area of this preliminary "sketch" is then enlarged to as much as 100 times its original size, digitally printed, and mounted or framed using pieces of architectural material such as beams, doors, and molding. Without pure figuration or sharpness of focus, the resulting works bring once-unnoticed details into sharp relief. Organic patterns and textures come together with bold colors in candid and revelatory explorations of small spaces, quiet details, and transitions in space and time.
