The Art of David Wiley

"I've always liked paintings that show how line is really just a difference of color. It's an area which has been explored quite a bit in recent years, but I think there is still a lot to be discovered.  Sometimes I feel like Cabeza de Vaca or one of those lean fantastic Spaniards looking for El Dorado or the Seven Cities of Cebola. You just keep on looking, looking, following hints and signs and vague suggestions, wandering around in all directions, always believing you're going to find it. The main thing is, you're in uncharted territory where any kind of surprise may be waiting. Artists and explorers have a lot in common. For one thing, they are both guided by their instincts. The most successful explorers were the ones with the most cultivated intuitions, and that's true with artists too, I believe."
