ARTIST STATEMENT
Wyatt Mills is an LA-based artist whose lusciously hued paintings splice form and still life with abstraction, instinct and energy. Depicting disjointed forms with patient and sumptuous care, Mills conjures scenes of delirious bacchanals punctuated by lucid moments of formal stillness. Body parts entwine with immaterial shapes, slithering from the security of knowledge to a celebration of intuition. Like fever-dreams that seep into waking life, Mills' paintings are vibrant oscillations between the outwardly observed and the deeply visceral.
What art classes did you take while at Crossroads? Art and painting classes from freshman to senior year with Vernon Salyers and Pam Posey.
How did Crossroads help to shape or influence you as an artist? Pam Posey was a great human and teacher to me and helped me believe in my practice, and Vern was helpful in shedding light on the difficulties of the art world and actually making a living as an artist.
