Kenneth Wilan

I am an artist based in Northern California, USA. I have lived in New York City and Switzerland. I have been painting/drawing/creating since the age of 7.

I WILL OFTEN LAYER mediums: acrylic, spray paint, ink, oil. Layer over layer, building into texture, reaching out with strong colors. The paintings I love the best not only say something and offer an emotion, but repeatedly bring joy and a momentary feeling of wholeness every time I come upon it. A twinge of not needing any mystery solved or knowledge gained while I see it, a whole happiness like the first meeting with someone you fall in love with.
