WES DEVRIES, ACRYLICS + OILS
Wes DeVries
Fluent with acrylics, Grand Rapds artist Wed DeVries creates paintings that are richly built-up in many layers. He creates a beautiful narrative, with an illusion of 3D space, which draws the viewer into his world. He is never tied down to traitional implememnts and uses unusual tools including expired credit cards.
Once A Martyr - Oil
DeVries started to appreciate art of all forms in high school and loved the smell of linseed oil every time he visited his grandpa's studio. He studied art in high school and in community classes from the early 1980's through the 1990's and the 2000's. He started to teach workshops at Forest Hills Community, Grand Valley Artists and the Franciscan Center. He is also involved with Artists Creating Together in Grand Rapids and as a member of Grand Valley ARtists for the last five years.
