 Painter Patrick Wilson with his recent work
Square guy Patrick Wilson's paintings stack squares of color atop one another until they take on the illusion of dimension, almost as if he has dug through the flat surface of the easel to discover further color swatches residing within. Wilson, 37, happily admits that his paintings buck the trend toward conceptualism - "They're meant to be looked at more than to be decoded." Prices start at $4,000 and run as high as $20,000.
