Wyatt Mills Studio

About the artist

Wyatt Mills was born in New York in 1991. After earning a BFA in painting from The School of Visual Arts, he relocated to Los Angeles, then studied at the Berlin Institute of Arts in Germany. He now lives and works in Downtown Los Angeles. Refined hi-octane paintings splice Neo-expressionism and still life with abstraction, instinct and energy. Depicting fragmented forms with patient and sumptuous care, Mills conjures scenes of delirious bacchanals punctuated by lucid moments of stillness. Body parts entwine with elemental forces and 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.
