ON DISPLAY
SEPTEMBER 3 – OCTOBER 31
BUNKT_: Late to the Party
York Public Library’s fall art exhibit features the work of Brian Wagoner, known in the art world as Bunkt_. The show will be on display September 3 through October 31, with an artist reception Tuesday, September 10 from 5-7 PM.
Before becoming an artist, Wagoner struggled to truly express himself. He discovered the healing and comunicative power of art at the age of 44, and became Bunkt_. “People don’t see me and my art on the same plane. I don’t use my voice. My art expresses weirdness and individuality that was stuck previously in my head. What you see is exactly what I want to put out there. I’m not interested in viewing or making art that doesn’t have something important to say. No one could have taught me to do this.”
A self-taught artist, Bunkt_ expresses his thoughts and his voice with torn up canvases from previous works, cardboard, and unconventional materials, often found on the floor of his studio or in nature while walking his dog, Nellie.
