West Elm Global HQ Painting

Born 1977, Westlake CA. Artist and educator working in Portland Oregon. Gilley reconfigures the built environment to create perceptual viewing experiences that complicate rational space. By combining influences from data visualization, prog rock, non-Euclidian geometry, and vintage computer graphics the works create hybrid viewing situations that utilize a variety of perspectival tropes. The works challenge the reliability of perception through the presentation of illusionistic wall drawings, indeterminate landscapes, modular forms, and images that extend the parameters of flatness. He teaches at Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland State University, University of Oregon, and more.
