Wilfred’s ‘This Side of Abstract’ Show Features 15 Acrylic-on-Canvas Originals

May 27, 2008 - PRLog -- Turning Point Gallery will display 15 original paintings from acrylic artist Wilfred Lang June 5-July 3 in an exhibit titled “This Side of Abstract.” The gallery will also feature his work at the 2ndFriday ArtWalk June 13.

Wilfred’s unique and instantly recognizable style reveals a clever use of color coordinating and color integration techniques that create three-dimensional effects. He combines elements of Eastern and Western culture and inspiration, displaying what Turning Point Gallery owner Jerri Meldrum calls “a pleasing transition between realism and abstract” for local collectors.

The artist, who signs his paintings as “Wilfred,” is exhibiting original work in Hawaii, New York, Hong Kong and Barcelona in addition to Chapel Hill. Born in Shanghai, Wilfred currently resides in Amsterdam, which serves as his second home and the gateway for sharing his art with the world.

Wilfred started watercolor painting at the age of 7, and attended art schools in China and Hong Kong, where he began his modern contemporary work. His acrylic-on-canvas paintings are gallery-wrapped so they do not require further framing, since the image wraps around the edge. Wilfred paints in large formats with the majority of his artwork covering 40x40 inches or 36x48 inches—an exceptional value for such high quality work.

“When I am not creating art, I enjoy walking my dogs in the forest around my town,” Wilfred says. “People who know me best would describe me as a good friend with an open house living situation.”
