Story / Additional Info“There are images, and in these images, voices. These are the voices as in the caves of Lascaux; primitive man has mirrored the experiences of his reality down through the ages. In my world of art making all is symbol sign and codifier.

Now recorded in an instant, an image is created as a conjuring of sorts; a narrow sign in a gallery of thought, sometimes untranslatable to the passing viewer. The nature of representation is not limited to graphic signifiers but directs the attentions beyond language to a higher plane of thought. This is the meaning of all art.

Edward Walton Wilcox - United States

Art Brokerage: Edward Walton Wilcox American Artist: If one squeezed the collected works of Edgar Allen Poe hard enough to transmute words into paint and meld this essence with the stark piety of the Dutch masters, then you’d have something fairly close to Wilcox’s vision. Collectively, his paintings and hand-crafted installations ensnare us and pull us into the depths of an alternative reality. The intensity blurs the line between the reality of the room and Wilcox’s fantasy. Born 1967, West Palm Beach, Florida. Wilcox earned a BFA in Painting with highest honors from the University of Florida in Gainesville, where he also received the Presidential Award for Excellence in the Arts. His work is in the permanent collection of the Four Arts Museum in Palm Beach, FL and has been exhibited at the University Museum at the University of Florida in Gainesville, The Norton Simon Museum in West Palm Beach, The Four Arts Museum, Palm Beach, the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach, FL and the Orange County Museum of Art in Santa Ana, CAnn Besides his 30 year career in Los Angeles Wilcox has exhibited his figurative work, abstracts and sculptures in New York, Miami, Berlin, and Palm Desert and has appeared in publications such as Re-Title, The LA Times, Juxtapoz, Coagula Art Journal, Ocean Drive, and FLAUNT Magazine and can be found in private and public collections across the United States and abroad. His work has been granted top awards by such prominent leaders in the art world as Ivan Karp (founder of the Brooklyn Museum of Art and the OK Harris Gallery in NY), New York Times art critic Phyllis Braff, Richard Koshalek (former director of Los Angeles MOCA and now director of the Smithsonian's Hirshhorn Gallery), Joram Deutsch (president and director of the Deutsch Foundation, Lousanne, Switzerland) Suzanne Delahantey (former director of MOCA Miami) and Hugh Davies, (director of the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego).
