Wesley Kimler

Wesley Kimler (born 1953) is an American artist based in Chicago, Illinois, known for his deafening paintings, up to 15 feet tall and 27 feet wide. According to critic Kevin Nance, these are "expressive, gestural, hybrid paintings that enlarge abstract and symbolic elements in a mannerism that's theatrical and beautiful, sometimes grotesque and surreal, and always powerfully evocative."
