Explore the enigmatic world of Lauren Wilhelm, an artist whose work serves as a profound examination of the human condition. Drawing inspiration from the ephemeral nature of life and the forgotten histories of those who came before us, Wilhelm's paintings offer a captivating exploration of our preoccupation with everyday living and the enduring impact of time on our existence.
In her upcoming exhibition, "Vainglorious," Wilhelm presents a thought-provoking commentary on transience, juxtaposing classical imagery with modern themes. Through her art, she challenges the notion of invincibility often associated with prestige and wealth, reminding us that no matter our status or beauty, time remains an unstoppable force.
"Juxtaposing classical imagery and modern themes, my paintings are my comment on transience. I reference the classical portrait with the often arrogant, invincible gaze of the wealthy landowner – and contrast the contemporary equivalent in the form of the modern-day land developer. Prestige, wealth, or beauty are still no weapon against time." - Lauren Wilhelm
