Wesley Kimler

Wesley Kimler (Born 1953) is active/lives in Illinois.  Wesley Kimler is known for Gestural painting.

Chicago painter Wesley Kimler once referred to himself as the "bete noir" of the art scene, referring to the way he utilizes the physical act of painting.  His bold, wide open, gestural canvases are intended to encode a hierarchy of repeated symbols.  He passes over Conceptualism's often ironic interpretations to take the contributions of the Abstract Expressionists at face value, using their work as a sincere springboard for his own.

Most recently, Kimler was commissioned by Aon Corporation to create four large pieces for the lobby of the Aon Center.

Kimler has shown his paintings throughout the United States including:
The San Francisco International Art Exposition
Art Chicago 1998
The Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago, IL)

He is included in numerous private and public collections including:
The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, NY)
The Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago, IL)
The Rockford Art Museum (Rockford, IL   ...  [Displaying 1000 of 1106 characters.]  Artist bio
