"I'm not big on subtlety. My paintings tend to reach out and poke you in the eye." While Wes has had considerable success on an international level as a wood artist, he found himself longing for a less rigid form and a less limited colour palette than that medium was affording him. Acrylic paint has been the answer. Working in a unique style that includes using a specialized easel of his own devise, Wes has been able to bring bold, vividly colourful paintings to life that will enhance their environment with a powerful contemporary statement. " In the same sense that rock and roll is not Rachmaninoff or Bach, what I paint is not Rembrandt or Michaelangelo, but in the famous words of Mick Jagger.... I know it's only rock and roll.... but I like it." |
