Wesley Kimler — Studio Works (Selections from Instagram)

Paintings and Afghan kites occupy the studio as a continuous field. Large-scale works line the walls beside Kimler’s Afghan kites, a long-running series of individual collage works with their own scale, pressure, and internal structure.

Color moves in high contrast: fluorescent pink, acid green, black, yellow, against raw wall, marked floor, and the working atmosphere of the studio itself. The pieces differ in medium and format while remaining inside the same visual force.

Within this field appears the cover of Between Here and the Sound of a Groaning Interstate & The Groaning Book. The jacket image, Black Blizzard (2021), is a painting by Wesley Kimler. The book also includes an extended conversation between Kimler and the author.

The appearance of the cover among the works marks an ongoing collaboration. The painting remains part of Kimler’s larger body of work while also carrying forward as the face of the book.

Kimler stands within the field beside paintings and Afghan kites, the artist among the conditions that continue to produce the work.

The encounter remains open.
