WAYNE WHITE
Mireille Mosler Ltd. in NYC is currently exhibiting the works of one of my favorite artists. I first became aware of Wayne White in Los Angeles. I lived across the street from Fred62 which, lucky for me, was a 24-hour diner. Aside from supplementing my 7/11 diet with real food, they also had a few of W.W.'s works on display. I clearly remember a blurry 3am where it took me half way through a milkshake to decode "Food Based Lifestyle" fading into a pastoral distance.
I love that he paints of objects found in thrift stores. I love that he uses bold statements and fonts. I love how modernly nostalgic the works are (both inherently and personally).
