Pink and Blue: Wes Lang

Artist Wes Lang was born in Chatham, New Jersey in 1972. Many of the artist’s influences are a function of a distinct autobiographical experience with certain exceptions; the Indigenous American as well as other totems of the American West, and painters and sculptors from middle of last century such as Twombly, Guston, Kline, Mitchell, and Bacon dovetailing on up to the more contemporary such as Basquiat, Kippenberger, and Mike Kelley. In 2014, Lang made his institutional debut with "The Studio" @ aRoS Aarhus Museum of Art. His pieces are included in many notable international collections including MOMA and Murderme and is represented worldwide by Almine Rech. Lang currently lives and works in Los Angeles.
