Artist Statement<\/h3>\n

To everything there is a surface, a fa\u00e7ade, an outward appearance. With most of life, the truth of the matter is distorted by the fa\u00e7ade, by the physicality, limited by what the eye can see that is only an artificial layer to truth.<\/p>\n

The work of Justin Wheatley dares to probe beneath the fa\u00e7ade and discover the essential truths of existence. Wheatley\u2019s canvases and his sculptures are intricately layered including subjects such as buildings, homes, bridges, latticed with abstracted line, shape, color, plane, symbol, and detail.<\/p>\n

In a visual play, Wheatley deconstructs the physicality of the fa\u00e7ade of his subject. It might be an old stone structure that will soon be lost to time thus deconstructing permanence in lieu of temporal transcendence. It may be a brightly colored and \u201cpoppish\u201d home that conceals all that is real within thus deconstructing domestic ideals in lieu of secrets and obscurities. Or it might be the multi-dimensionality of his abstract layering breaking up the absoluteness of the subject thus deconstructing both space and time in lieu of a pure reality.<\/p>\n

Wheatley\u2019s work creates a multifaceted statement that is visually powerful and cognitively complex that synthesized, weaves an ongoing fabric of existential meaning.<\/p>\n
