Will Yackulic
Yackulic uses a typewriter, watercolor, India ink, and gouache to render otherworldly landscapes occasioned by spheroid forms which he terms "outposts". They resemble untethered geodesic domes, with subtle color fluctuations among their facets. Yackulic’s typewriter marks proliferate outward from his outposts like so many oscillating wavelengths, drawing forth allusions to both natural and engineered activity. At other times, the mysterious spheres hover above or below cryptic, typewritten phrases. The tactile and the imagined intersect, acknowledging the emotional and spatial tensions of the artistic process.
Will Yackulic’s past exhibitions include A Prompt & Perfect Cure, Gregory Lind Gallery, 2008; Focused Aggregate Intensity, Jeff Bailey Gallery, New York, 2007; The Unknown Quantity, Gregory Lind Gallery, San Francisco, 2007; and Landscape Re-imagined, Margaret Thatcher Projects, New York, 2006. His work has been reviewed in the Artforum, Flash Art, Modern Painters, Village Voice, San Francisco Chronicle and the San Francisco Bay Guardian, among other publications. He will be in the Weatherspoon Art Museum’s 40th Anniversary 2008 Art on Paper Exhibition. Yackulic received his BFA in Painting at the State University of New York at Purchase. He lives and works in New York.
