Provenance / HistoryFrom the 2010 solo exhibition, "Fanatic", at the Merry Karnowsky Gallery in Los Angeles. Featured in Juxtapoz, LA Times, LA Weekly, and KPRL
Story / Additional Info“Fanatic” includes paintings and sculptures that modulate between the stark realities of our age and the dreamlike musings of a mind in denial. Hauntingly beautiful, the work is overt in its reference to Gothic convention, in both content and physical facture. Wilcox's use of primitive materials such as wood, glass, rabbit skin glues, Italian pitch and gesso lend an old world authenticity to the crockets, tracery and other conventions of Gothic carpentry that caricaturize Wilcox’s multi-disciplined work.
Art critic David Cotner states, “Wilcox's work is a brilliant and romantic star hurtling through the same galaxy as fellow travelers Odd Nerdrum and Hieronymous Bosch, so if you like your aesthetic dread spiked with the imploding placid inevitable, then this is the art for you.”
